The new documentary feature Inside High Noon will probably be somewhat fluffy, but it features Stephen Prince and supposedly focuses on the blacklist controversy.domino harvey wrote:That collection of extras is a joke, this is a film which begs for academic extras and instead we get sure-to-be pandering making-ofs and tangentially related bonus material

I picked this up through the DDD sale as well, and am also very happy with the transfer. Obviously, I have never had the chance to see such a clean and crisp presentation of the film.
Pleasing as it is to the eye, it is not quite as pleasing to my ears, however. The clean-up job on the film is almost too good, and I miss the crackle during the opening sequence on Tex Ritter's theme song. I always loved this particular opening, but somehow it seems less powerful in the almost clinical remastering that has taken place.
Very nice then to have the short clip from the Jimmy Dean show with Ritter performing the song live -- all in "beautifully" unrestored sound and image.
