"La donna più bella del mondo" (Leonard, 1955) Surf Video R2 SD

One of the most striking looking Eastmancolor films, imo, exhibiting a near Technicolor image.

wow! these captures are gorgeous and looks like a blu-ray downscaled to a DVD resolution..

"Fanfan La Tulipe" (Christian-Jaque, 1952) TF1 Video R2 SD

Criterion called this colorized version "remarkable". Remarkably bad, maybe? Okay, some of it's not horrible, but still...

Yes, those caps are pretty amazing, if I may say so. Unfortunately, the movie, overall, isn't nearly as captivating as its images. Basically, "La donna più bella del mondo" is an Italian take on the kind of picture Lana Turner used to make at MGM, with a dull script and lush visuals in service to an elaborately appointed star. The Italians even brought in one of Lana's old Hollywood directors, Robert Z. Leonard ("Ziegfeld Girl", "Week-End at the Waldorf"), to guide Gina through her paces. It's an entertaining picture, to be sure, but not quite the classic one it may look like. I suppose I should also add that Mario Bava was the cinematographer on the film, which may help explain why it looks so good.

Here I go. First try at posting screencaps.


OK. I'm using PostImage and making them clickable thumbnails. If we're looking for DNR and bad cr*p, we want to see them full-size, right? Or is it preferable to resize 50% or something?

Wow. How do I make them smaller?

You can resize the pics (maybe 50%), edit your message, and repost. I use Photobucket, which lets me do that rather easily. There are other photo editors that can help you do the same thing. Not familiar enough with ImageShack, though.

I use Post Image, which lets you adjust the final size of the image when uploading and you don't need to create an account or anything

Thank you both for the tips. I'm going to try Postimage first.
