Got it three days ago... The set is awesome, but the (allegedly) remastered "Miss Sadie Thompson" leaves quite a bit to be desired...there's evident grain, changes in color tones, flickers and even some blurry faces throughout which are not present in older movies in this set like "Cover Girl" or "Tonight and every night"... I guess the folks at Sony Classics couldn't get a better source material for this one... Despite these flaws, this set is a must for every serious classic movie collector...
shareThanks for the information, ironmanlucas. Unfortunately, I suppose this is the only game in town. On the other hand, I have to say that Miss Sadie Thompson always looked bad, even in TV prints I remember from the 70s. The color was always variable, with poor tones, and the film did indeed look grainy. This may be the best print they have. I have yet to get the set but intend to do so, mainly for the new-to-DVD Sadie and Salome.
