The need for higher data throughput is generally based upon aspect ratio, format, ie overall resolution, and cutting & movement.I find no deficiencies. But since a 4K/UHD of GWTW is the topic of this thread, there obviously was a belief and hope from many that another level of excellence was possible.
I found no deficiencies with the BD of “The Wizard of Oz”, either, but the 4K/UHD miraculously upped the ante.
As for “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”, I found my personal preferences leaned more towards the BD over the 4K/UHD.
All 3 titles, as everyone knows, are products of 1939. And yet, we are learning that one size does not fit all; or, in this case, not all films from the same year are going to yield the same results on a 4K/UHD disc.
So, as I attempt to learn about this technology; I began to wonder about GWTW. With “Lawrence of Arabia” and “The Godfather Part II”, both of substantial length and both being in a two-disc presentation, I had surmised that this had something to do with ensuring superior picture quality. Therefore, I wondered if GWTW; also of substantial length and possibly not an ideal candidate for 4K/UHD; was something that could benefit further if, perhaps, it were to be divided over two Blu-ray discs.
