I dusted off this gem from my DVD library. The PQ was excellent on my 4K display.
. . . and my favorite John Payne performance. In that early scene in the apartment with Maureen O'Hara and Natalie Wood he is so effortlessly charming. I wish he had played more Cary Grant type roles!Miracle on 34th Street (1947) - Once the calendar turns to December, we start watching holiday movies. I'll be recording appropriate films from TCM, but for the first of the month we started with the blu-ray of Miracle on 34th Street. It's one of our all-time favorite Christmas movies and one that holds up year after year.

Let me know what you think of "Green For Danger"? I'm talking about the video presentation as I thought it was mediocre at best.. . . and my favorite John Payne performance.

Today four new goodies have arrived: Great Day In The Morning, The Bad And The Beautiful, Green For Danger and Phantom Lady. I'll probably watch two tonight and two tomorrow.
Will do. I'm watching it tonight. Yesterday was devoted to Great Day In The Morning and The Bad And The Beautiful.Let me know what you think of "Green For Danger"? I'm talking about the video presentation as I thought it was mediocre at best.
Give me a break John! No such implication was made about you not being into movies. I did state you're an audiophile and I am not one. Furthermore, audiophiles are known to love movies too as we have plenty of them here on this forum that posts their views about all kinds of movies. That's it!I forgot how long it's been since I was posting here regularly. I did the October Challenge, which I didn't double post here, then I embarked on a journey to watch all 11 Nicholas Sparks movies, in order of release, and I didn't want to hear about my decision to do that, so I kept my impressions to myself. BTW, I think they, at least the stories, are a lot better than they get credit for. Yeah, I said it and I'm not taking it back. After it was implied that I'm more into electronic equipment than movies, I've been contemplating doing capsule reviews again here.
I've actually taken a bit of a break from movies, after kind of overloading for a few months.
Couldn't agree more! But her waist is one of the absolute great marvels of the modern world.
I watched this yesterday and I think your phrase "mediocre at best" is exactly right. At it's best this transfer is mediocre. For much of the time it's a lot less than that. The images are like low grade standard definition and, particularly at the beginning, there are innumerable scratches, marks etc. I don't understand how, once the scan has been done and further work will be in the digital domain, no attempt was made to reduce the damage with digital tools.Let me know what you think of "Green For Danger"?

I haven’t seen that in forever, and I’m fairly sure I have the DVD.I dusted off this gem from my DVD library. The PQ was excellent on my 4K display.
