 I heard about this last week. I wasn't happy that TELL IT TO THE MARINES, THE BLACKBIRD, WEST OF ZANZIBAR and WHERE EAST IS EAST were all excluded from the deal. Warner Archive recently put out Rex Ingram's THE MAGICIAN (1926) which just debuted on TCM in March. Unfortunately, my friend Speedy Nelson bought a copy for himself and one for another person. Both were defective, with processing errors. So beware, could be more of the same here. I sure hope not.  ;D It's quite encouraging that Warner Archive is actually addressing the problem. So hopefully, future copies of THE MAGICIAN will look fine. They are aware that the master being used to create the discs was not made on the correct settings. No defects have been reported with OUR DANCING DAUGHTERS or OUR MODERN MAIDENS. Speedy said that both of those looked very good. Apparently, THE PRISONER OF ZENDA was the other disc in this last batch that had processing issues. Ghosting and jagged edges. Some commented that it was even worse than THE MAGICIAN.

My friend, who happens to be a fellow blogger, sent me copies of The Prisoner of Zenda, The Magician, (The film that is considered the first film noir) Stranger On The Third and Betrayed.(aka When Strangers Marry...This film is also considered a film noir.)He misunderstood me in our conversation and though that I said, that I have watched the 2 silent films...However, I haven't watched the 2 silent films yet...with "yet" being the operative word. By the way, I just "popped" both discs into my computer tray (I plan to watch them on television later in order to check out the print.) and I would have to agree that both films picture quality look okay, well that is from what I have observed so far...I also plan to take in consideration the films age and the year that both films were released. I most definitely, will take into consideration that the films were released on DVDr instead of, being released on DVD or DVD blu-ray when I watch them over the weekend. DeeDee   |
