Actually, I was just expanding on your post ahollis, not really repudiating it. And it was also written in haste, so I probably wasn't as clear as I should have been about the transfer of Violent Saturday for Twilight Time's DVD. You're correct; it wasn't a great transfer, being both SD and letterboxed, but the "source element" Fox was working from - the film itself - did seem to be in very good shape, which is the only thing that made this letterboxed DVD even watchable. So not an ideal presentation, but at least a reassurance that Fox had something pretty decent to go back to for a new HD harvest and transfer.ahollis said:

It was filmed in 70mm, So a good Blu-Ray transfer might be a buy for me.Brandon Conway said:

This is so tiresome. I just went to amazon France to see just how much cheaper. The disc, which, when you put it in your cart is actually a bit cheaper than the listed price, is about fourteen euros - regular shipping is 8.50 euros - in US dollars that comes out to approximately $28.50. So, yes, you're saving a whopping five or six bucks (with shipping) and not supporting a company that's been putting out catalog titles that no one else would touch with a barge pole. It's amusing to watch the glee with which such posts as these are done.kingofthejungle said:

Sorry I wasn't clear - TT is releasing a blu-ray of Violent Saturday - that's what the poster I was responding to was talking about. Wasn't talking about the DVD at all - that was from their self-admitted learning curve and they learned quickly not to do that again. The transfer on the Carlotta is very nice just as that very same transfer will be very nice on the TT blu-ray release. The poster to whom I was responding was gleefully cheering how much cheaper it is to get the Carlotta blu-ray - I don't consider five or six bucks that much "cheaper."Robert Crawford said:
There is no anamorphic on blu ray, do you mean they released it in pan and scan. ?ahollis said:
I was referring to the DVD that Twilight released a couple of years ago. Twilight has indicated they plan to revisit the title as a Blu. The DVD was widescreen non-anamorphic.FoxyMulder said:
They learned their lesson quickly and immediately announced they will not release a title unless presented correctly. If it is anything like their past Blu-ray releases it will be very goodFoxyMulder said:
