So a Blu Ray edition of the B&W restoration is NOT available? This won’t be released on Blu Ray by itself?

The new restoration is only on UHD?

 

[Josh Steinberg]

That’s not correct.

There are two product configurations:

1) 4K UHD Disc Of Restored B&W version, includes Colorized Version on separate Blu-ray bonus disc.

2) Blu-ray Disc Of Restored B&W version, includes Colorized Version on separate Blu-ray bonus disc.

What there does not appear to be is a package that includes the new restoration on both UHD and BD in the same set.

Check my Pre-order Listing link below and under October 29th there are two listings, one for Blu-ray and the other for 4K/UHD. Both of them have the restoration. The Blu-ray release has it on Blu-ray disc while the 4K/UHD release has it on 4K/UHD disc only.

Thanks for the clarifacation. I wasn't sure if the Blu ray had the new Restoration or the old master.

I will be buying this.

Both releases have one more version of the film which is the colorized one.

So the only way this new restoration comes is in UHD Black and white with colonized version?

 

[Mike Frezon]

I believe the UK says the 4k/UHD version with the new transfer on Blu (B&W) as a combo pack.

North American product configurations - two options:
-UHD release contains two discs: a UHD with the 2018 restoration in B&W, and a BD with the 2009 colorized version. Also includes a digital copy code.

-BD release contains two discs: a BD with the 2018 restoration in B&W, and a BD with the 2009 colorized version. Also includes a digital copy code.


The United Kingdom UHD release includes the UHD disc of the 2018 B&W restoration and the BD disc of the 2018 B&W restoration.

The United Kingdom UHD release includes the UHD disc of the 2018 B&W restoration, the BD disc of the 2018 B&W restoration and a BD disc of the 2009 colorized version.

There is no blu-ray of the colourised version included.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

I stand corrected and will update my original post - thanks!

No, the Amazon USA link I provided is the Blu-ray version of the new restoration. I haven't checked Canada so perhaps it's available on Amazon-CA site too? Also, you can purchase the Blu-ray restoration when you purchased the UK 4K release. I think it's also available as a separate UK Blu-ray release.

I bought the Blu-Ray edition from Amazon Canada and it includes two discs -- 1st with remastered b&w version and 2nd with the colorized version. Currently $12 on Amazon Canada, which is less than the current U.S.$ price. https://www.amazon.ca/Its-A-Wonderful-Life-Blu-ray/dp/B07WFJ9HWH/ref=sr_1_1
