I've been waiting on this title for a very long time. Another Paramount title.

I just bought the Imprint version. I wish i knew KL was going to put it out.

I suspected it might happen which is why I stopped purchasing Paramount titles from Imprint.

The film has a great score by Alfred Newman and the stereo soundtrack CD is still available from Kritzerland.

I hope this means some of the nominees I need my come here.

 

[Corn Pop]

The title was chosen by curators Maggie Hennefeld, Laura Horak and Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi.

I think that the title suggests militant modern political feminism, which I personally despise and which is why it will have a strong negative connotation with some. But regardless of the title, it looks like this is a fantastic release and Kino-Lorber deserves the highest praise for Box Sets like this. I love Box Sets. Thank you.

 

[PaulRossen]

Was disappointed with the Imprint release. Thought the film looked washed out. Sound was good. Hopeful that the Kino version will be better.

 

[Capt D McMars]

Can't wait! Saw this many times when it first came out. The most entertaining of Terence Hill & Bud Spencer's many pairings.

I never saw this one that I can remember, and you'd think with these guys I would remember. You had me at Eli Wallach, Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. Of course the Trinity series was my first exposure to Terence and Buds great personas. Add in Eli and with decent writing...it's gotta be fun!!!

I have the DVD of course, but if the Blu-ray disc is reported to be a substantial upgrade - and coming off a 4k scan of the OCN, it had better be pretty well perfect - my credit card will spring to action! In my opinion, this is a marvellous movie.

It’s great that Kino is delving further into our cinematic heritage, but given the specific contemporary associations, I think tbey could have found a better title.

Miss Jackson would like a word with you.

I suppose I shouldn't have to ask this, but will 2-D versions be included as well for the benefit of those of us who don't have 3-D TVs?

Yes, all releases from the 3-D archive will also play back in 2-D.

Another Paramount title on 4K/UHD!

 

[Kino Lorber Insider]

Three of the sixteen UHD titles we acquired were not originally titles we had targeted, at least not as 4K releases, but we decided to acquire them once we knew the films were already restored in HDR/Dolby Vision by the studio, Indecent Proposal was one of these titles, the other two will be announced soon.

 

[Thomas T]

I think that the title suggests militant modern political feminism, which I personally despise.

But not all of us share your view hence the title is okay by me!

 

[Matt Hough]

Indecent Proposal was the first laserdisc I had to die from laser rot. Looking forward to seeing it looking its best.
