Based upon my displeasure with the To Catch a Thief disc, which premiered this series of studio Blu-ray releases, I had concerns while waiting for the initial images to arise on Roman Holiday.
Those concerns dissipated with immediacy.
Viewers should understand that without an original negative, especially dupes, can be problematic, as they're fourth generation, but there's never anything here that's of concern.
Nice blacks, with a generous gray scale, excellent resolution, a steady image, some very minor questionable grain, which disappears at viewing distance...
There's really not a problem in sight.
Roman Holiday, as a Blu-ray is 180 degrees from Thief.
A film for the ages, that should be in every serious cinephile's library.
Image – 4.5
Audio – 5
Pass / Fail - Pass
Upgrade from DVD - Without a doubt
Very Highly Recommended
