I never bothered with either Olive releases. This Eureka release will do quite well.

Ste7en · 06-24-2019, 01:15 PM

Ordered. Looking forward to this.

4K digital restoration but no 4K UHD release? I'll wait.

They're a boutique. 4k UHD is not an option not even Criterion are considering it

A lot of times, most 4K restorations are for "safeproofing" or archival purposes more than anything so there won't be a need to do another remaster (at least in the long term).

I watched this with by Grandad when I was a kid, loved it then and still love it now. Such a wonderfully tense film and one i've been meaning to grab at various points over the last year or so. I came very close to pulling the trigger on the Olive and domestic German releases but i'm glad I held off.

I do love how this package is shaping up

Yeah, the "[4K]" in the thread title is rather misleading. I thought for a second I'd missed some major news.

Unless it's MGM, I don't see most major studios including UHD rights to boutique labels. Not to mention, I don't imagine Eureka jumping into the UHD game anytime soon (or at all).

Which is precisely why I said "major news". A catalog 4K isn't major at all, they happen all the time. One coming from Eureka would be a huge deal.

This is actually #208 - the packshot is a typo. #209 is Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean.

Ehh, have Eureka ever released a UHD before? I imagine this one's fairly self explanatory.

Thanks. Fixed it.

There was a time when nobody had released a UHD before. Yeah, I wondered how the hell that news had slipped past me in the Eureka thread but sometimes that happens. Anyone who doesn't follow Eureka as a label is in an even worse position to interpret it.

UseY0ur1llusi0n · 06-25-2019, 08:59 AM

All the '[4K]' is signifying is that it's not from the old master(s) seen here - and indeed the newer restoration Olive released under their Signature Edition. I can see why it might throw you for a loop - but it's not a big deal.

MillyD · 06-26-2019, 11:06 PM

Does anyone have idea how video quality compares with olive signature version?, probably an impossible question to answer at this point.

We don’t know since it won’t come until September.
