Glad I held off picking up the Paramount presents release.

The Imprint will have the Leonard Maltin extra and the theatrical trailer as well as a commentary. So the only thing we miss is the theatrical trailers of Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, The Furies and The Black Orchid. Which is fine by me. And I guess we will all get to share in the ghosting effect!

Can you confirm whether Imprint corrected the ghosting issue on Last Train from Gun Hill?

(in case you've never heard of it, read the quote below from the DoBlu.com review, or the Paramount Presents release of the film thread from #39)

Unfortunately, an issue does crop up during the transfer, which some viewers will notice. Any scene with moving action across the screen results in a slight but decidedly odd ghosting effect. A motion blur for the moving object arises, such as when horses ride quickly across the scene. It’s not always noticeable but does stick out in a couple instances. I believe the issue is that certain frames have been digitally blended at the wrong frame rate.

The problem also shows up in the digital master available for iTunes, so it’s not an authoring error on the Blu-ray. Something is likely amiss in the digital transfer struck by Paramount. There have been hints of this problem showing up in a few other Paramount releases recently. Most modern film scans are done frame by frame and then manipulated together in digital software.

Wow, never thought I'd see the day where Australia gets the non-screwed up version.
