The Disc

Blue Underground presents this movie on a gorgeous looking 4K disc, where the restoration can really shine. Even though I lack a full on 4K equipment, it really looks more than amazing. Granted, there are scenes, shots and moments that lack the crisp high definition details of others, but such is the deal with older material. Overall, the transfer look up to Blue Underground's own high standards - but it doesn't rank among their reference quality discs I think.
