Now this is interesting š.
The first time I ever saw TTCM was on late night TV eons ago. It had this warm orange cast to it which was particularly noticeable in the outdoor daytime shots. It really created a dry and arid feeling which (for me) greatly enhanced the atmosphere. When the movie came out on DVD, I snapped it up but was massively disappointed to discover that the orange cast was missing and everything now looked bright and colourful, a look that Iāve seen carried over to every home video release since. I was beginning to wonder if the āorangeā version I first saw was some error on the part of the TV network. But if this is the original theatrical colouring then Iām stoked and canāt wait to watch this again the way I saw it the first time.
Many thanks Mangowolf. Can I ask though; would you consider producing a 4K version using the German UHD Bluray as a source? This 4K release is SDR only so it wouldnāt require any dodgy HDR/SDR conversion and the look of the grain in full 2160p is wonderful. See here:

There are some issues with raised blacks in this version but I would imagine this could be easily corrected.
