Stanley Donen's chic romantic thriller, Charade, is a film that not only beautifully stands the test of time, but in a certain way, bridges the gap between the classic era of American film, during which many of the greatest talents of the 1930s and '40s were still working in front of the camera, and that that followed.
Criterion's new Blu-ray of the Universal production is a simple disc to review.
Scanned from a 35mm interpositive derived from the original negative, the disc beautifully mimics the original 35mm prints that ran in theaters 47 years ago.
This is a Blu-ray that from standpoints of image as well as audio, excels at what Blu-ray does best, and that is the ability to create a digital image on a small disc that re-created the look of the original in a home theater environment.
Highly Recommended.
