I guess the 2 Wilders they did on 4K sold well enough to merit this one's upgrade

Interesting that they said they passed on Witness For The Prosecution, because they didn't think it would sell well.

I hope this sells really well, the more 35mm classic B&W films on UHD, the better.

Surprising choice. It's a somewhat popular war film, but not one I expected to get 4K release, or one that I think would sell particularly well on the format.

Damn it... Just imported and watched the Eureka. Thought it was probably safe as one of the less cared about Wilders.

Really? I though this was one of Billy Wilder's best films.

I absolutely love this movie and I also think it's Wiliam Holden's all time best performance in a career with many great performances and films.

I wasn't talking about you and I or about how good the movie is. It has a much lower viewership than Sunset Blvd., The Apartment, Some Like It Hot, Witness for the Prosecution and Double Indemnity. Surprising pick.

Unfortunately, I feel the same. I'm a huge Wilder fan and a huge noir buff, but while I think it's very good, I don't love love it.

Yeah, but those are huge films. After the ones you mentioned and Sabrina, this has the highest viewership, according to IMDb statistics. It's #7 out of 26 films. Certainly not a less cared about Wilder film. That honor would go to The Emperor Waltz, Fedora and Buddy Buddy.

yes yes and yes

I was never able to really warm up to this film.

Gacivory · 02-26-2023, 03:22 PM

In for this!

bergman864 · 02-26-2023, 03:40 PM

William Holden's best performance.

Also, this makes me think Paramount is doing Sunset Boulevard themselves.

BluProofie · 02-26-2023, 03:54 PM

Masterpiece, will definitely get this.

I'm in for it - have never owned it otherwise, but have seen the film a couple times in years past.
