Second Unit
I thought the Hitchcock blu-ray set was region free on both sides of the Atlantic? Anyway, I doubt the THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH looks any different regardless of which set was purchased. There's just a difference of opinion ... different levels of expectations, different monitor set ups, different tolerance levels. For me... I'm pleased enough with the disc (I have the U.S. set), but it seems to me that it's a fine transfer made from unrestored crappy elements... and I think that is the bone of contention. Should Universal have done a restoration? I think they should have, but unlike others I'm not losing sleep over it. I have much more difficulty accepting the restoration that was done on THE BIRDS. It seems to me when restoring a movie (or any work of art) the first rule of thumb should be the same as a physician: First, do no harm.
