About this deal

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (software uniformly simulated HDR) , A much better trailer that hints at plot points that it savvily avoids revealing, and includes a few quotes praising the film, including one from enthusiastic fan, Edgar Wright. This warts and all UHD transfer, supervised by Mike Hodges, is a marvel. The film is given new life by accentuating the detail that so informs the story. Mike Hodges in Conversation (2022, 60 mins): the director discusses his career in this interview recorded at BFI Southbank here, although the screencaps do not fully convey the extent to which the grain moves in film-like patterns to convey detail within the image. Given the

Das ungelenke Remake mit Stallone sieht, obwohl in den 2000er Jahren gedreht, gegen diesen über 40 Jahre zählenden Klassiker einfach nur alt aus. DISCLAIMER: This review's compressed, resized screen captures are strictly decorative and do not represent Blu-Ray's native 1080p resolution. In case you need a reminder, it's this: "You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself." BFI’s notes on their restoration state it is primarily sourced from the 35mm original negative, but portions had been replaced with sections of the duplicating negative, more than likely due to damage. For these portions BFI were able to source the yellow, cyan and magenta protection Promaster elements, made from the original negative. BFI also notes that the film’s “final look”—which I assume includes colour grading—was based on previous restorations/releases from 1971, 1999 and 2014. The film is now more than half a century old, and yet it continues to win fans with each new generation – and the latest are bound to be enthralled by a 4K and Blu-ray release from the BFI. Director Mike Hodges says the quality is fantastic – and he’s absolutely right. In fact, the film probably looks better now than it did on its big screen release in 1971.

Hardcore fans (like ME!) who want the real deal now have a way to get it. Do you think you could update your review with an additional footnote/notice? Thank you sir for your consideration! -- Jeffrey Nelson aka WaverBoy aka Serious Michael Caine Fan (11.07.14).

So, to be clear, the re-dubbed opening scene is re-dubbed on both the audio commentary and the feature on the Blu-ray itself.... GlennThe nightclubs, the miniskirts, the parties, and the cars (there is a sublime Sunbeam Alpine) are sharply contrasted with the grim melancholy of bingo halls and the defiant yet slightly pathetic marching of the majorettes.

The Ship Hotel - Tyne Main - this documentary about a pub on the banks of the River Tyne was produced by Philip Trevelyan in 1969. In English, not subtitled. (34 min).

Sidebar note: I just saw a gloriously immaculate wide, wide, widescreen digital projection of the 1969 The Italian Job at the Turner Classic Movie Festival, with stereophonic sound. I hope this means it might appear on Blu-ray this year. the hallmarks of the typical American crime film is the presence of a moral center.

Side guide

The Ship Hotel – Tyne Main (1967, 33 mins): Philip Trevelyan's wonderful film about a pub on the banks of the River Tyne clear to my ear, but for others the fear of the original American distributors may be justified, i.e., In this second commentary, which is new to this release, novelist and author Kim Newman and author of British Crime Film Barry Forshaw provide an equally busy enthusiasts' view of the film and its production. Forshaw nails his colours to the mast at the start by proclaiming this the best of all British gangster films, while Newman suggests it's more a film about gangsters rather than a gangster movie, and is closer in tone to Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samouraï, and both note parallels to John Borman's Point Blank. The two men bounce off each other engagingly and cover a considerable amount of ground, including Ted Lewis's source novel and its sequels, the lead actors (particularly Caine and Ian Hendry), the British gangster's attachment to his family, the notion that this is not a misogynist film but a film about a misogynist world, Mike Hodges' varied career and his follow-up film Pulp, Roy Budd's score, British critical reaction, and lots more. Forshaw notes that Michael Caine's performance is as important to the success of the film as Mike Hodges' direction, and Newman wonders why a film that is essentially about a character circling the drain is so much fun. Another excellent companion to the film.
