If you want it before Christmas, you better order now or by next weekend at the latest. The 19th is too late or even the Weekend before the 19th.Maybe they're thinking no order after that point would make it in time for arrival by Christmas Eve I guess...

I'm genuinely curious, if they are brand new 4k scans from the OCN, why not put them out in 4k? Even without an HDR grade, a la the Great Escape.Two more Paramount announcements this weekend on Facebook and Twitter. Both only on Blu-ray and both from Brand New 4K scans of the 35mm Original Camera Negatives.

Because even SDR is much more expensive than regular 1080P HD from a 4K scan. Authoring is close to 7 or 8 times more expensive, replication 3 to 4 times more.I'm genuinely curious, if they are brand new 4k scans from the OCN, why not put them out in 4k?

But in the future it will be how those decades will be judged ...This is a prime example of trying to push the limits against the Hollywood censors and passed for “adult entertainment,” when in short order it became pretty tame by evolving standards toward the end of the decade. It’s overripe trash with actors trying their best to be cunning or decadent amid soap opera betrayals and financial treachery - and probably more fun wallowing in the excesses than more subtlety would’ve brought.
Excellent news! A definite purchase for me. I hope that other Carroll Baker movies get a high quality release too, most of all Sylvia.Saturday's Facebook Announcement:
