It appears to be the new Kino version that's free with Amazon Prime video if you're curious how it looks. Mississippi Mermaid

Bette was 27 when she filmed Bordertown. Ida was 22 when she made They Drive by Night. Poor Ida is stuck with a terribly written "mad" sequence and she isn't able to do anything with it. I think she was too young to completely understand it or fight to have it rewritten. Watching this...

What level exactly? I googled a scene from the movie with her in it.... Ida Lupino Mad Scene I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid. I remembered liking Ann Sheridan in it, but Ida Lupino? I didn't remember her at all. Bette's mad scene is at about 1:19:42 Bordertown (1935) The movie...

I hear the lament that Vera Miles didn't play Madeleine but Vera was 29 in 1958 (Vertigo) and 31 in 1960 (Psycho). Whatever she had at 21 had dissipated by 31 and I don't think it was there at 29 either. She looks middle-aged in Psycho and I don't think it's just the bad wig. She looks like...

Yes Jon Finch is really close to the bottom of the barrel as the hero. Think if a much more magnetic 34 year old Terrence Stamp had been cast in the lead instead. And maybe a Romy Schneider, Liv Ullmann or maybe even Monica Vitti cast as the sensible ex-wife (imagine how upsetting the...

Brown on brown. Slightly more monochrome than the old version. I don't see more resolution. Look at the last screen cap you reference - Farley Granger's hand and the ice bucket are more resolved in the old version. John Dall sitting on the couch is more out of focus (you can't really see...

I sit about 50" from a 55" 4K and it's perfect for 1 or 2 people. The size of the panel is 48 1/2" x 28 1/4" including a thin edge. Wouldn't that still give eye level viewing when put under your mantel?

I'm happy that our relationship hasn't suffered a breakdown!! :emoji_cocktail::emoji_cocktail:

I wonder if you call them to complain - they'll offer you a 4k Roku stick to retain you?

That's not nice! Kick 'em to the curb.

This is definitely 4K.

Interesting. I don't know?? Maybe I'll sample another Paramount+ show (something recent) that's supposed to be in 4K... Does your Paramount+ app allow other movies or series to show in 4K?

I "bought/free trialed" Paramount+/Showtime via Apple and I'm watching this via a 4k AppleTV. What does your menu screen say when you stop the movie?

I don't know. I'm watching via AppleTV. Should I not believe this menu?

You can get a free week-trial of Paramount+ through Apple TV or Amazon Prime. I just signed up to see the 4K stream of To Catch a Thief. I've watched half of it. Not very nice. The scene with Cary on the bus with the old lady and birdcage (and Hitchcock) shows an obvious crop. Every scene...

Three years have passed and Blu-Ray.com finally has a review of Paramount's marvelous reinvention of Technicolored VistaVision. That 6K scan (and substituted yellow layer) really shows up in all its glory. Previous "dated" 2012 blu ray "New and improved" 2020 blu ray (thank goodness they...

What an odd publicity photo. Liz is holding 65mm blowup and 35mm reduction prints of Leo the Lion. Neither print appears to have an anamorphic squeeze. All three actors are absorbed in the mystery of it all.

Since there's no mention of a fresh scan and the release is limited to 1500 copies - isn't it likely that this is the same scan that was used for the DVD? From 2004? The same nonsense Shout pulled with their blu ray of Brotherhood of the Wolf that they released in 2021 - where they used a...
