ugly public domain prints in hd?

Now if it was Universal or Paramount making the announcement ...

That's exactly the same concern I have with these releases, Rod. BRUNETTE is one of my most loved Hope films. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

BRUNETTE is also one of my favorite films, but supposedly this company has access to the original elements.

As far as I know the road films which this company is also putting on HD are not in the pubic domain so they must have rights to the films.

ROAD TO RIO and ROAD TO BALI are both public domain.

The article about the Road films confirms they are public domain.

Ah. cool well then it will be interesting. But that article also says that they are going from newly remastered source elements. I don't know if that means they have access to the original elements (if they even still exist) or not.
