Wow, those new captures are incredible. I am really looking forward to seeing what comes from this restoration. I have always loved the film, and while Criterion’s project was a huge leap forward for its time and a valiant effort in film restoration, it is fantastic to see how the opening up of the 4k field is really going to offer yet another improved way to enjoy all these classic films. The Criterion version was the first Criterion I ever shelled out for back in the day (and it was crazy big bucks at the time too), and one of the first DVDs I ever owned. Seeing the amount of detail though with this improvement, especially in the background like in the last shot comparison, I am thrilled for the possibilities. Of course, a properly colour-timed version would be ideal - I have no idea what judgements they are choosing for these samples - but that might still come. I wonder how/if Universal is working this, if there is any collaboration on the title with Criterion and their restoration work/team. Thanks for sharing this, really great to see.
