Criterions "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" DVD, out tomorrow.
It arrived today and I had a chance to preview it:
Excellent quality. I am reminded of the Criterion "The Red Shoes". It seems to have the same soft palette. A High Definition digital transfer that was worth waiting for. This is the full-length version of the film, chocked with extras. It's about as good as any film I have seen made at this time period. In fact its almost impossible to believe that it was made in 1943. The Technicolor is superb. Great contrasts, deep blacks. Sound quality is equally impressive. Nothing but praise. Criterion at its best! 5 out of 5
Many large screen captures and further review HERE
Cheers,
