We're all gone!
A fine western indeed. I agree with Matt about the black levels not being as deep as I expected but otherwise, a solid video presentation. Alton's cinematography with natural light is featured throughout this film along with his use of filters.
An underrated western directed by Anthony Mann with John Alton as cinematographer. That's right, Alton doing cinematography on a "Western" film and you sure can tell it's an Alton film by how certain scenes are shot with only natural lighting.:thumbsup: Yeah, Robert Taylor playing a Native...
I doubt it because Mildred Pierce and The Breaking Point didn’t have a prior Blu-ray release before Criterion released them. But, who knows what the future holds?

You bought the 2014 Blu-ray which doesn’t have subtitles. The 02-06-24 Blu-ray release has subtitles and Joseph McBride’s commentary. I have both Blu-rays and have confirmed what I stated.
My best friend is a Frank Sinatra superfan, and after watching the 2001 film during its theatrical run, I would tweak him about how much this remake is better than the original film. Today, I'll be calling him again to tweak him about this 4K/UHD release.:laugh:
This weekend I was finally able to watch Eleven. A great looking 4K/UHD and a thoroughly enjoyable movie that I think is a better film than the 1960 movie. I grew up in 1960’s watching the original movie so I’m a fan of it but there are portions of the movie that hasn’t age well.
