If this were a standard DVD the image quality would be a rip-off. As a "high definition' blu-ray it should be illegal to sell it, & it does Amazon harm to be associated with peddling it. The film is in the public domain, that's the problem: any chiselling little hustler can put it out without licence without taking any efforts at all in even a moderate image transfer. The company that put this disc out couldn't give a stuff about the customer.

Any of you who read my review of the other edition of this film will know how poor i found the image to be on that one. I am happy to say that this version is better, not great, but a definite improvement on the Waterfall edition. The colours are a bit wishy-washy but the sound is quite good and there little distortion in the action sequences. The big plus is the trailer, a really strange one which I am sure didn't entice many people away from 'Gunsmoke' or whatever was on TV at the time. Strangely, the picture quality of the trailer is better that the movie itself !!!! This film definitely deserves the 'special edition' treatment because of it's fantastic cinematography and all the backstory that goes with it. It's a pity that most of the cast are dead (with the exceptions of Brando/Malden/Jurado), I am sure some good tales could be told.

'One Eyed Jacks' is one of my all time favourite movies and I was delighted when I heard it was to get a long overdue DVD release. I was disappointed when I saw it was a Waterfall release. I have purchased two of their previous items, 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and 'The Stranger' and both were very poor in picture quality, especially 'To Kill..'. I was not surprised then to sit down to watch a third poor quality DVD from them. The picture is grainy and has lots of distortion during the action sequences and the sound is uite 'tinny'. A real shame because this a a fabtastic movie, ful of great character actors doing their very best and a bizarre lead performance from Brando that is mesmerising to watch. He wasn't a bad director too. The film looks great and deserves a 'special edition' release. Are you listening Paramount? I see another low price edition is due out in October, I hope this version will be better.

Brando tour de force
Okay, the video transfer is not of the finest quality - I waited to buy until the previous distributor's poor effort had been replaced - but it's still very watchable. Read more

Scary!
Brando's only attempt at direction shows him as a short tempered, brooding and violent man. The seller was prompt in delivery and economical in pricing this item.
