The BFI U.K. Blu-ray disc says "original aspect ration 1.66:1"

I assume you know something about him which most of us don't know.

Absolutely. Couldn't have put it better myself.

I've never been fully satisfied with the Blu-ray disc of Gilda because the images lack the glossy sheen I once saw on a very good print decades ago. I've always suspected it might be possible to do better. Is this "restoration" from the nitrate OCN new or is it the same one used for the Blu-ray...

I very much want that film in my collection. Possibly Anthony Franciosa's best performance.

There have been occasions when I've bought a disc and have not played it for a few months. To wait fourteen years (!) is mind blowing! :biggrin:

My 4K disc did not have a Blu-ray disc bundled with it, unlike, say, The Maltese Falcon.

That's not far off my opinion. The saving grace for me is Claudia Cardinale. I've never upgraded from the DVD but I just might for this 4K disc.

Wow! I've seen this only on television and that was a long time ago. VistaVision and a strong cast! I'm interested.

I watched Caged last night. Its not a film I know well but it is interesting and I'm pleased that it's a bit low-key and not over dramatized. The producer was Jerry Wald and I normally enjoy his films. The formidable Hope Emerson plays the corrupt prison warder, a stock character in prison...

Thanks for this review. I don't recall ever having seen this film but it sounds interesting. With that cast and with Hugo Friedhofer and Lee Garmes contributing, I'll buy this disc. I'll certainly keep my eyes open for Jill St. John. I knew she started very young but I didn't know she was in...

The Roaring Twenties last night. I hadn't seen this film for several years despite owning a James Cagney DVD box-set and that puzzles me as I have regarded this film as one of the classic gangster movies for decades. Last night's viewing also reminded me of how flexible an actor was Paul Kelly...

I'm an admirer of Ellen Barkin so I watched Sea Of Love yesterday. She was good as usual and I find the film interesting but I would have liked it more if the detective had not been such an awkward jerk.

Thanks for the review. It reminded me of why I have never wanted to see this film.

No interest in Bhowani Junction?
