Has anyone picked up Network's recent releases of Victoria the Great (1937) and/or Sixty Glorious Years? How do they look?

I've got Victoria the Great and it looks good when I did a chapter check. A film this old really isn't going to look any better that the latest Blu Ray releases.

Yeah they look pretty good. I use Colonel Blimp as an high point of what these Technicolor films can look like on Blu-ray, and they are not that level, but still very clear, if somewhat grainy. Worth nothing that the first film is only in colour for the last few minutes, and the sequel is in colour throughout. The booklets inside are quite charming as well.

Thank you both for your responses. I'm pleased to hear that they both look good. I've only seen Victoria the Great, and that was an old VHS copy, so I look forward to picking up both to watch over Christmas.
