I would never give something away like that to a first time viewer.
I was very careful with my wording about that and because I was concerned that my blu ray was defective at the part where she said Murder and you do not hear it. I wanted to know if that was a defect or if it is done on purpose. Someone did reply but the post was deleted. I know people like to argue over nothing on forums and have said my rebuttal. I cannot say anything else

I'm sorry. Its just the way I read it sounded like it could be (potentially?) a spoiler. If it wasnt intended to be, I shouldnt have taken it like that

No sir it wasn't intended to be a spoiler but just to see if my disc was defective at that precise moment. I will say that this is an excellent picture and if you like courtroom dramas/classics you should see this

Saw this at B&N last night, also without slipcover. I don't think it has one, which is a shame.

Amazon is apparently waiting until August 4 to ship my Blu-ray of Witness for the Prosecution so that it can be shipped along with Marty, Separate Tables, and The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes.

From what I'm reading in this thread, the movie will definitely be worth the wait!

My previous message seems to have been missed

Can someone please confirm if this is Region B compatible like most Kino titles?

DVD Beaver has it listed as Region A locked.

Thanks for that. I'll have to give this a miss then, and hope it gets a UK release

I just received mine. I'm planning on watching it this weekend. I don't know why I assumed it came with a slipcover, but oh well.

How come this Kino-MGM blu-ray doesn't have subtitles while the others apparently do?

There are no subtitles on the AU Umbrella release.

Herry Dunston · 07-24-2014, 11:26 PM

Okay, but what does that have to do with my question?

I'm almost certain that Kino releases never have subtitles. Combine that with the slim supplements, and I'm passing on this release. The Netflix HD version looks fine on my 60" and has subtitles.

That's what I've heard and I asked, but I never got confirmation.

Some of the new Kino Studio Classics have subtitles, but most do not.

Good thing I said "almost" certain :P

Any idea why certain ones do and most do not? I would think a movie with the stature of Witness for the Prosecution, which also has one of the most highly regarded screenplays of its (or any other) era, would demand having subtitles.

Edit: nevermind, did some research and found out.

Amazon jacked up the price recently. It was $16.99 for a long time but I didn't pull the trigger. Just watched it recently on Amazon Prime. It's on my wish list so just going to monitor it for time being and hope price drops.
