With Barabbas, it's a case of Sony getting around to it (& they may have already done the work for all I know), there's a few sixties Columbia films that I hope will get a great looking release next year.
The French Sidonis (unremovable subs) blu-ray of Barabbas is certainly underwhelming as far as image sharpness is concerned. I'm hopeful, too, that Sony has or will soon do a new scan. This genre is my favorite and I'd like to add the Fox MIAs Story of Ruth, Esther and the King and, if a decent print exists somewhere, Sodom and Gomorrah. Guess that is up to Disney now. For sheer fun I'd also LOVE to see The Silver Chalice and The Prodigal from WB. Still, Helen, Pharaohs and Barabbas are top of my list, too.
