Custer Of The West 1967

[KyotoKid]

Has anyone seen this blu ray yet? I do not use a credit card and am wondering how I could get a copy using Paypal - any suggestions? Hoping it looks good of course! Looks like it just got released.

I received Custer of the West today and haven't watched it but I did spot check it. It is zone (region) free but has forced French subtitles. It also is 1080i50Hz rather than 1080p. The 138 minute (with PAL speed-up) film is on a BD25 with only 19 GB+ allotted to the film. Although the packaging says BD50, it is a BD25 disc. It also looks like it was sourced from a print rather than OCN or IP material. Most people will probably want to skip this one.

I've read feedbacks about this BD on DVD Classik, and they also say to skip this because PQ is very bad.

I wasn't a fan of this movie when I watched it on DVD, though I did like a lot of the dialog. I probably wouldn't pick it up on Blu even if it came out in a decent presentation, but I did want to thank you, John, for sharing your knowledge about this release. It's generous help like that which makes all of us better informed about these titles from other regions.
