Black Tights bluray? (1 Viewer)

Why have we never seen Black Tights (1961) released in bluray? It was a great 70MM film, I would love to have a BD copy! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053726/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Because the elements have decayed and there is no likelihood of anyone paying vast amounts of money to have them restored.

Being a major Cyd Charisse fan, I'd love to have this film on a really good Blu-ray disc but I don't expect ever to have the chance. There are two DVDs and both are very bad. Alas!

Thats a real real shame!

I saw a 70mm print of it at Bradford about ten years ago, and seem to remember that it looked rather good, much better than the dvd's, but I can accept that the potential audience for a BluRay wouldn't really warrant the money required for a restoration.

Another vote for Cyd Carisse!

And there is hope as after all we already have releases of The Black Tulip and La Fayette so there certainly is a chance to also get this one or other obscure large format titles like Old Shatterhand or Carthage in Flames.

Well, that's some encouragement at least.

Elements decayed?

Elements decayed?

I read somewhere that the OCN suffers from vinegar syndrome and has decomposed to some extent. I'd love to discover that's incorrect. Do you know the current situation?

What a fabulous film. I'd like even a decent DVD to replace the very poor one I own already ... although even that is worth the occasional viewing, if only for the wonderful Zizi Jeanmaire! And Cyd too.
