Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: ALAS. after having viewed the whole film on the new DVD.....pity!I have a seriou
Ginger,
Here follows a list of scenes which feature an obvious lesser image quality on my "With a song in my heart " official Fox DVD:
-last 15 seconds of the "Audition" scene: color changes and lesser qualiti of image definition (less shrpness)
-last minute of scene with Jane and Ron in theur aappartment with Susan in blue ensemble (about 28/29 minutes into the film) : loss of sharpness/definition and color.
-Susan/Jane singing the first notes of "the right kind" in her green decolleté shirt with Don accompanying her in her dressing room.....: color fades again and definition /sharpness too.
-Susan/Jane coming back from stage after performing the song : for about one minute again,images lose color and definition quality
-the whole segmeny of Susan and R.Wagner in "two for tea" at about 1 hour 28 minutes into the movie is totally unfocused,no sharpness,and it lasts about 2 minutes
-Next is Susan/Jane 's anouncement by USO camp director at about 1 hour 33 minutes into the film: totally unsharp /unfocused image for about 30 seconds
-Last is firs part of song "they 're either to young or too old": bad colors,lesser definition...compared with second part which is much better.
I have compared with anothe copy and I found the same mistakes....
Also I compared with the restored DVD version of "the Snows of kilimanjaro' issued by Fox earlier this year and the digital transfer from "Snows" is much better...
Don't get me wrong,I am quite happy with the DVD but i do not understand that FOX after all these years of waiting to release the DVD of "Song " did not come out with a perfect difgital transfer/DVD of such a beautiful classic.
