International Pepe (1960) Blu-ray from Spain (1 Viewer)

[JPCinema]

Nick had told me he was very hopeful the uncut version would be restored and released.

I really wish PEPE would become available in the US blu ray or streaming. It is one of my holy grail films.

On TCM this month.......

This came up on my Microsoft/Bing Rewards page today:

Viva Cantinflas​

He'd be turning 110 years old today. Check out the comedian's work!

If only we could get this released on Blu Ray.

'Entertainment for the whole family without violence or a dirty word.'
What dirty words were they using on screen in 1960?

Pepe, pronounced PEEPEE.

TCMHD broadcast looks HD and sounds great with stereo sound. 158 minutes so I guess it's not the complete roadshow.

I don't desire to damn the entire nation of Spain in terms of home media, but they do little to reign in illegal activities.

My stance is simple.

If a product is from Spain, I presume it to be a bootleg.

If that product is a "Blu-ray," I presume that it's a DVD level master in a Blu-ray bucket.

If a proper copyright notice isn't attached, that's a pretty good yardstick of propriety.

RYANS DAUGHTER from Spain is superb.

Gee I have a couple which I haven't seen yet. TFOTRE and 55 days at Peking. Hope I didn't throw my money away. Anybody see them?

When stealing from a quality source, anything is possible. It’s data.

Pepe, pronounced PEEPEE.

No, pronounced Pep-Pay.

I hope Sony will release PEPE on blu ray or have it available for purchase streaming.

But only the full-length roadshow version.

 

[JPCinema]

But only the full-length roadshow version.

I agree but I think the scenes of the the uncut version are not on a PQ level that would make this possible.
I think the same situation exists with the uncut version of THE VICTORS.

But only the full-length roadshow version.

That should be the only way.

I think the same situation exists with the uncut version of THE VICTORS.

As I recall, they have the stuff that was cut.

I’m in Madrid now and the vast range of classics on Blu-ray which don’t appear to be legitimate (practically all of them) is incredible. Many Warner Bros titles are there which have been released on Warner Archive and none of them have a WB logo. Some titles have studio logos, such as Universal for Freud but a comment on Amazon says the quality is more like DVD or even VHS. Why this situation has developed in Spain - to the extent that it seems studios don’t bother releasing discs themselves - is a mystery.

I've also been curious about this Sun Valley Serenade import blu-ray from Spain that is being sold on amazon. I've been contemplating buying it for awhile now but just like with the "Pepe" Import it's giving off bootleg vibes. Has anyone purchased it and how is the quality?
