A wonderful film.

Socialist values in UHD, what more could anyone want?

Definite double dip.

[EddieLarkin]

Hopefully finally in widescreen, as composed and intended.

[Brian81]

I pick up the Vintage Classics line on UHD so this will be another. Blind buy.

Just bought the Blu-ray yesterday, on it's way to me now...

This doesn't help you now, but I would recommend keeping an eye on the Vintage Classics thread. Myself, and others post news on when a SC title gets rated by the BBFC, which almost always points to a new release upcoming from them. I posted this one on July 19th:

Honestly it’s inevitable, saw similar responses to the 4K announcements of Seven Samurai, Paris Texas and others.

True that, still didn't stop me pre-ordering this!

StudioCanal have got better in recent times, right? Maybe it's just the films I'm interested in from them but I can't remember the last dodgy SC 4K I bought and they used to be fairly common in the early years of the format.

It all depends on the party they commission to do their restorations and encodes. Their success-failure rate is about even I’d say.

[Katatonia]

I watched it yesterday, and was quite impressed with the transfer and encode. It's definitely a massive leap over the US Kino Blu-ray, and looks about as good as you could ever expect for a 1954 B&W film. The audio track sounded improved to me ears as well, but perhaps that was simply due to the viewing experience being significantly better.

Such a friggin' brilliant movie!
