Forget the DVD - I want it on Blue-ray !!


Well, I reckon we've all waited long enough for a quality DVD - that NEVER came.

Now that I've invested in a large 1080p full HD Plasma and a quality blue-ray player, I say forget the DVD and let's have it cleaned up and remastered on a nice BLUE-RAY disc !!!!

YEAH !!! :o)

There's a decent widescreen DVD released by Fox in Spain with an English soundtrack.

I have the Region 2 Spanish DVD and I have to say it's BARELY decent... It is indeed in Widescreen but the image has not been restored AT ALL from what I used to watch on TV back in the '80s: specks,dirt, sudden color shifts, an even the series of unwatchable murky blurry night scenes that look as if Negulesco shot them through gauze or vaseline,and which I believed back in the '80s they were a flaw due to the Pan & Scan sloppy TV version...They're NOT. Sad to see that big studio classics remain unreleased this side of the Atlantic (other cases, "Autumn Leaves","Harriet Craig","A Foreign Affair" and so on).

More people can afford a DVD than can shell out the extra bucks for a Blu-Ray player and the more expensive discs. DVD first, then Blu-Ray.

Well .... I just noticed the DVD is out in Australia through "Bounty Entertainment" in PAL4 format and can be ordered here:

- not sure what "4x3 Widescreen" means though!!!

Looks unrestored too, I think....

Also on sale in eBay ....

I STILL want a Blu-ray though !!! :o)

Bumping this because a Blue-Ray is long over due for this title. Gotta have it.

Hey Thanks! Heading over to Amazon right now.

Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.

You will not be sorry. The film has received a 4K restoration and now looks new and magnificent.
