Thanks, Robert. Would you say it's a substantially better image? I'm just trying to decide if it's worth a double-dip (or triple-dip, since I used to own a SD-DVD version).
To me, it's a better looking image, but to say substantially, I would have to examine it further, but there is no question the Technicolor of this film is more pleasing to me than the previous disc. Also, the blacks looks quite a bit better on this disc. Since this a favorite Ford film of mine, the new Bonus Material in this disc is well worth the upgrade over the previous disc.Thanks, Robert.

Up for viewing today is Doctor Strange in 3-D!
Tomorrow is 4K/UHD viewing with Allied in the morning followed by Hacksaw Ridge in the afternoon.
I've been following the Nocturnal Animals discussion. Had a couple of friends tell us about the opening of the film after they went to see it. It turned me off from wanting to see it, but it sounds like the rest of the movie is interesting.
While I waiting on Doctor Strange to arrive in the mail, I decided to watch Warner Archive DVD release of "A Woman's Secret", a 1949 drama with some film noir attributes, but still not quite a film noir. The film starred a couple of my favorite actresses, Maureen O'Hara and Gloria Graham. The film was okay, I've seen parts of it beforehand, but haven't watched the film in its entirety until today.Up for viewing today is Doctor Strange in 3-D!

My third viewing of this film and I was even more impressed today. A reference disc! The battle scenes are even more horrific.I will be interested to read your impressions on Hacksaw Ridge. That one is on my UHD wish list.

How about these films that are among my favorites:Even if he'd only directed Casablanca and Mildred Pierce, Michael Curtiz would have had a great career. When you add in other films of his, such as White Christmas, Yankee Doodle Dandy and The Adventures of Robin Hood, he has quite a resume.
