Mind you, I’m not the pickiest person out there and only have a couple 4Ks (all I’ve got at the moment are Lawrence of Arabia, Bridge on the River Kwai, the Good the Bad and the Ugly, and Blue Planet II) but I was quite happy with this one. The original was shot on 35mm. There’s no DNR for this release thankfully, so lots of beautiful film grain. Sound is great too. I’ve noticed details on this version I’ve never noticed watching it in the past. I’d recommend it if you like this movie
This is my first post on this community as I’ve only recently gotten really into collecting, so hopefully this post isn’t breaking any unwritten rules or anything. Also, the exact release date, from what I read online, seems to be November 5th 2024. It’s celebrating its 70th anniversary this year with the 4K release
Welcome to the community! This is a great first post. I’m glad to hear its a good disc.
That’s a great price; I bought my copy for nearly double that. Remember that Bing also has another Christmas movie in 4K, Holiday Inn, although if you only have a handful of movies your collection would suddenly be very Bing Crosby and Christmas heavy, haha.
I’m really ready for the holidays with both of those plus It’s a Wonderful Life and Scrooged.
I wasn’t aware Holiday Inn had a 4K release, I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. The movies I listed are just the ones I have on 4K, including DVDs and standard blu-ray I’m at about 100 right now which I know is still quite small, but my girlfriend, who I live with, has also been getting into physical media for movies, so I have a feeling the collection will start to grow pretty quickly
Looking forward to this. Originally shot in VistaVision (horizontal 35mm). Thanks for sharing.
