Rixx · 03-15-2012, 05:56 PM

Excellent, hope they also release The Titfield Thunderbolt

Albatross365 · 03-15-2012, 06:28 PM

Hope it gets a decent transfer.

The DVD has a few scenes which are just too dark to make anything out.

BigNickUK · 06-09-2012, 12:29 PM

Just got it today and watching it now.

Saw it on tv again a couple of months ago and that was clearly not the restored version.
Studio Canal have done an amazing restoration and transfer (like the other Ealings). Very highly recommended!!!!!

That's good news; it was on Film4HD a couple of days ago, and I was fearing the worst after that viewing.

Thanks, just making sure. I have it pre-ordered from the UK Amazon.

BigNickUK · 06-09-2012, 02:13 PM

Only 1 difference on this slip is Optimum Releasing is no longer there just Studio Canal so not identical to the other slips

spearce8 · 06-09-2012, 04:52 PM

I wish the others would come down in price

bluskies · 06-21-2012, 08:13 AM

I watched it tonight, and it is one of those inventive comedies of classic British cinema. Sporting an impressive British cast of Stanley Holloway, Margaret Rutherford, and Hermione Baddeley, laughs come often in this witty black-and-white film from 1948, one of the first of Ealing Studios classic comedies.

The film has been restored, and for the most part it is impressive. However, it does still have areas of streakiness.

Audio is restricted to a mono 2.0 soundtrack, but that is all you really need for this movie. It delivers every line clearly.

The extras are minimal. A three-minute interview with BFI curator shows he is extremely nervous, and delivers it quickly. There is also a featurette that compares modern locations with those in the film. A short photo gallery and a restoration comparison round out the extras.

Highly recommended for British comedy fans.

(And to those who care about those things, it came with a slipcover.)

Has anyone experienced an difficulty playing this disc at a computer drive?

Albatross365 · 07-08-2012, 06:30 PM

Nope. Worked fine for me on both that I have.

What software are you using?

WinDVD Pro 11. It plays two seconds of intro and then displays message "Your display environment does not support protected content playback".

Albatross365 · 07-08-2012, 07:15 PM

Do you have more than one monitor? Doing a quick google shows that up as a problem.

djvaso · 07-08-2012, 07:39 PM

I have one monitor connected via DVI-DVI cable to Radeon 4800 card.
