BABY DOLL (1956) coming from WAC - Blu-ray Forum

Akijama · 01-11-2021, 08:00 PM

just announced

NEW 2021 1080p HD master!
BABY DOLL (1956)
Run Time 114:00
Subtitles English SDH
Audio Specs DTS HD-Master Audio 2.0 - English, MONO - English
Aspect Ratio 1.85:1, 16 X 9 Letterbox
Product Color BLACK & WHITE
Disc Configuration BD 50
Special Features: "Baby Doll: See No Evil" vintage featurette; Original Theatrical Trailer (HD)
Times are tough for cotton miller Archie (Karl Malden), but at least he has his child bride (Carroll Baker), who’ll soon be his wife in title and truth. The one-year agreement keeping them under the same roof – yet never in the same bed – is about to end. But a game with a sly business rival (Eli Wallach) is about to begin. In Baby Doll, as in A Streetcar Named Desire, director Elia Kazan and writer Tennessee Williams broke new ground in depicting sexual situations – earning condemnation from the then-powerful Legion of Decency. They earned laurels too: four Academy Award® nominations, Golden Globe® Awards for Baker and Kazan, and a British Academy Award for Wallach. Watch this funny, steamy classic that, as Leonard Maltin’s Movie Guide proclaims, “still sizzles.”

After recently buying On the Waterfront I was wondering about this. Nice to see this getting a Blu-ray release.

Gunsnroses092789 · 01-11-2021, 08:20 PM

Glad this is coming - I have most of Kazan's movies on either Blu-ray or DVD, but not this one, so an easy purchase

Cremildo · 01-11-2021, 08:29 PM

I might have to upgrade since the DVD is open matte.

bonehica · 01-11-2021, 08:47 PM

Never seen this, but sounds like a solid blind buy. May even go for Day 1.

drownsoda · 01-12-2021, 04:18 AM

FINALLY. I am bummed by the lack of bonus features (same as DVD), but this is one of my favorite movies of all time. Definitely ordering.

Vw Driver · 01-12-2021, 05:30 AM

Going to be upgrading from the DVD, this is a great film.

Abdrewes · 01-13-2021, 02:07 AM

Kazan's masterpiece. I am so thrilled

RiFiFi1955 · 01-13-2021, 03:12 AM

Day 1!

bigshot · 01-13-2021, 06:24 AM

God's Little Acre was released on Blu Ray some time ago:.https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Gods-...Blu-ray/74301/

I suspect it is now out-of-print.

Don't matter, it will still look stunning I'm sure!

The DVD, despite being open matte, was pretty damn good, so the Blu-ray should be fantastic.
