The film itself: Fabulous rendition of the classic by Charles Dickens. John Mills plays the part with elegance and style. Great.
Quality: Compared to a normal DVD this Blu Ray disk is very crisp. However (not a bad thing), if you are familiar with photography jargon, the film appears to be shot with a very high ISO throughout. But worth getting the Blue Ray version.

This is a transfer, not a restoration. But the print used for this transfer is an excellent one, so the only noticeable problems are some scratches and a bit of grain here and there; otherwise a very clean and crisp BR edition. Kudos to the techs at ITV DVD!
I assume that some people are playing this on mid- to low-end BR machines, thus their negative evaluations. (And it is region-free, so you can get rid of your Criterion R1 Ed., which looks very anemic compared to this new one.)

David Lean grew increasingly grandiose and portentous the longer he stayed behind a camera, as far as I'm concerned. But I forgive him for all of it because of this film. Read more

Scandalously bad blu-ray transfer!
Of course the film itself deserves 5 stars and more, but this transfer to blu-ray is a travesty. The powers-that-be at ITV should be shot! Read more

Disgraceful Blu-Ray Transfer! Avoid!
This is one of the worst transfers to BluRay I have ever seen. It is sharpish in places only. Uniformly grainy and without a decent black or white to be found just in shades of... Read more

Classic film for all
I had not seen this film for many years, but saw it was now on blu ray so bought it. It is just as good as I remembered, and would be suitable for the whole family, though perhaps... Read more
