Quality of Twilight Time Blu-ray


The Twilight Time Blu-ray version seems to have a severe greenish tint compared to the other versions. It's also darker and murkier. The Japanese Blu-ray and the regular American DVD are much warmer looking and clearer. Did anyone else have problems with the new Blu-ray release? Why would they release something that looked like this?

The Japanese BD, clearer? No way, it's DNR'd to hell and severely cropped to boot. And the previous U.S. Fox DVD shares the green push of the Twilight Time; it's just a little more pronounced on the TT. TT by a landslide...it really is an impeccable presentation.

It is suppose to look like that. Glad they left the video alone and not try to "fix" it.
DNR would have destroyed the dark image. Cannot wait to get my copy of this on blu. TCM Shop has it for 35 bucks. Kinda expensive, but I love this movie!

I have the UK studio canal version, and I think it's a beautiful transfer. It has a strong greenish tint in many of the nocturnal, outdoor sequences, but I believe that's the way its supposed to look.
