I have never seen it buy I'll buy it because I love such films!
Give me classics and romance!!

Oh it's a great one for that criteria.

it's interesting that TT has ended up with two of Jones' absolute best films.

The Song of Bernadette is her best IMO, but I happen to consider Duel in the Sun and The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit far superior to LIAMST, which IMO is a severely overrated film.

Arkadin · 04-03-2013, 10:45 PM

I just said two "of" her best films.
I agree that Duel in the Sun is amazing, but I certainly don't consider LIAMST "severely overrated". I mean, c'mon.

This is a very exciting release

. A must for classic movie lovers.

Can anyone who owns this Blu-ray pls check your disk and tell me if there is an audio glitch at 24min 21 sec right before the woman in the cafe says "tell me about yourself".

Oh yes there is!!

Can't believe I hadn't noticed that!

Replacement cds in soundtracks have been issued for much less important glitches than this, but i doubt we would get a replacement Bluray for this.

Thanks for confirming. It's disappointing.

I just checked the BD.com audio review. Seems Jeffrey Kauffman caught it.

Quote:

Love is a Many Splendored Thing features a (slightly) repurposed DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that offers decent immersion in terms of dialogue and foley effects, but which really utilizes the surround channels to provide a lustrous rendering of Alfred Newman's really gorgeous score. There's one noticeable albeit slight dropout at just a little past the 24 minute mark, but otherwise this is a sterling lossless offering that presents dialogue very cleanly and which certainly shows off Newman's work to an often stunning degree.

Just watched the TT for the first time a week or so back and I never caught the glitch at all.

Glad I didn't see this thread first or I would have been waiting for it. I can't say that anything about the presentation took me out of the film- though the film itself didn't play as well for me this time as it has in decades past.

AllAboutMatt · 11-02-2020, 05:15 PM

Is anybody familiar with the quality of this edition? It's my only alternative at this point as the Japanese and TT releases are out of my price range.

Probably a poor rip of the TT disc shoved on a BD-R.

So possibly slightly better than the DVD but not by much?

Vw Driver · 12-30-2020, 06:17 PM

Put this one on auction on ebay starting at $40, if any are interested.

Spanish BDs can usually be assumed to be bootlegs, especially when the artwork is visible, like this one, and there are no studio logos on it.

That said, yes, before anyone starts shrieking, there are exceptions to every rule, there are legit Spanish releases. But this is not one of them.
