And here's another nice Paramount Blu-Ray that I watched this morning: "The President's Analyst".
I don't know if it's been mentioned before but the current DVD of "Love Me or Leave Me" looks very nice upscaled... a wonderful 'Scope presentation with strong colour. I wouldn't be surprised if WA released it on Blu-ray.

I have that SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952) Blu-ray/DVD box set! One of these days, I'll have to do a Blu-ray/DVD visual quality comparison!Among the DVDs I have, "Glengarry Glen Ross" (the anniversary edition) looks beautiful in SD; a case of where the lighting and tones hit the "frequency range" of standard DVD just right. The "Superbit" edition of "Das Boot" has a great organic look to it that showcases its film origins.
The included DVD of "Singin' in the Rain" in the Blu-Ray box set looks phenomenal upscaled; you could well cheat someone into thinking that was the BR

Yes "The Climax" is a treat. I don't know what the pricing situation is now, but a few months ago I was able to buy that Boris Karloff set on Amazon for a fraction of the price it would be to purchase the single MOD of "Climax".I was impressed with The Climax (1944) in Technicolor starring Boris Karloff. This DVD transfer had very good detail and the color looked great. The movie is paired with The Strange Door on disc 2 of Universal's The Boris Karloff Collection, but is available as a stand-alone from the Vault Series.
The DVD of "Can-Can" (colour fluctuations aside) looks crisp and beautiful on an upscaling player. If Fox can fix those intermittent blue flashes and colour issues, it would look smashing on Blu-ray.
I had a 35mm Technicolor/Scope print of MOR in the 1990s. Joi even looks better on a 20-foot screen! Quite a physical specimen to say the least. I have the DVD now.I watched Marriage On The Rocks this evening. This is a superb DVD with exceptionally good, clean images.
I chose to watch this film because I've just started reading a book about Joi Lansing, whom I've always found interesting. (Joi Lansing has a small part in the film, but she's very noticeable) I don't know if this book is to be trusted - at present, I'm extremely sceptical - but I hope to learn a few things about her career and her personality.
