Very interesting. I like both these films a lot. (Raymond Chandler got it wrong: Alan Ladd was not a small boy's idea of a tough guy.)

I wonder if these films have been restored by what Robert Harris calls "the new Universal?" I hope so.

Just watched those two films last night on TCMHD they looked good.

Big news for Ladd fans

I'll be picking up The Blue Dahlia. I already bought the German blu-ray of The Glass Key from Koch Media, which looks fantastic.

 

[Cine_Capsulas]

Now that's how you do good cover art.

 

[Craig Beam]

I'm all over these! Man, this is a great time for noir on Blu-ray.

 

[Keith Cobby]

Just watched the The Glass Key (thank you Santa). Fairly mediocre political/crime film (not film noir) but with good performances from the leads. Veronica Lake lights up the screen whenever she appears, with her dreamy voice.

The Arrow blu-ray is very grainy and I was a bit disappointed with the image quality.

I noticed I was grainy but I assume that is a true representation of the film stock of the time. It will take an inside professional to give a definitive answer.

I shall have to buy The Blue Dahlia. Very pleased with the cover art giving prominence to Veronica Lake, the true star of the show.

[B-ROLL]

That's the US Region A Shout! cover
This is the Arrow

Region B
The Beav says the Shout! is the exact same transfer as the Arrow but has a different/full commentary ...

 

[CarlosMeat]

That actually is a custom cover I did for my Kaleidescape. Similar to the Shout version but since Kaleidescape didn't provide one I made one with the BD top and bottom template.
