Go back to the DVD. It looks much better than the blu-ray. See this comparison: link. The blu-ray is taken from inferior source materials and then scrubbed to the point that everyone looks like wax figures.

Awesome news, we really need more Welles on Blu so this is very welcome indeed.

Now the review on this site said the blu-ray was better than the DVD, so I sold my MGM DVD and grabbed the blu-ray. Oh this blu-ray game

"I haven't seen as many PD DVDs of this title as I have of The Stranger, but this release has a couple of things going for it. It is virtually spot and blemish free, which none of the DVD releases I've seen (including the touted MGM) have, sometime in abundance." - Reviewer

Really good film. It may not be as awesome as 'Lady from Shanghai', but I will still pick this up.

Thats what Im leaning toward..I use DVDBeaver all the time but I still get on the fence..the DVD isnt expensive anyway

If you have a Big Lots nearby, I've seen the MGM DVD of The Stranger there for $3.

We do but its not nearby in the city, its like way across town , long commute ...might be worth it though.. I am going to get the DVD as I have the space for DVDs again...
