Near perfect Pink

Verified Purchase:Yes
Unlike the prior collection, Shout Factory was smart enough to include “The Return o The Pink Panther”. It’s too bad that they didn’t give it a full restoration, as they had with the other titles in this set. “Return” looks okay enough; but the other 5 films look superior. Other than that, this is the best and most complete of the Peter Sellers Pink Panther series to date. 4 out of 5 stars.

Surprisingly terrible in 4K/UHD.
on November 23, 2019
Posted by: Philip
Verified Purchase:Yes
Paramount Pictures labored last year on a full restoration of this classic film. But in the 4K/UHD format, we are deprived from really seeing it. Overall, there is an on-line disagreement out there. Some have reported liking this product in 4K/UHD, while others were frustrated. And it all came down to who has what, in terms of their 4K/UHD equipment. It is not the fault of the restoration. It is the fault of the transfer to disc. Paramount Pictures needs to do a recall on this disc and fix the problem, otherwise this disc will remain an consumer crap-shoot and experiment. Here is the good news. The newest BLU-RAY actually works best across the boards, with no risks involved; but unfortunately the black and white BLU-RAY does not come with the 4K/UHD disc. The black and white BLU-RAY is a separate purchase. Both the BLU-RAY and the 4K/UHD edition come with that lousy colorized disc, so read the package carefully before purchasing. But the BLU-RAY, it looks far better.

Unbelievable in 4K/UHD
on November 23, 2019
Posted by: Philip
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are set up with a 4K/UHD player and panel, then you are ready for this edition of "The Wizard of Oz". Don't look for a picture and sound quality that matches today's modern films like Batman and The Dark Knight trilogy, as Oz is now an 80-year old film that was made in an era of different technology. Still, with that said, I did not think it was possible to improve on the older BLU-RAY which already looked great. But this newer edition in 4K/UHD still brings out additional clarity, colors and details that made this extra increase well worth the purchase.

Worth revisiting.

Just bought this disc some 10 years after seeing it in the theaters.
Still liked it. The picture quality of the BLU-RAY is good and I couldn't beat the sale price of about 6 bucks.

Read before purchasing
on November 23, 2019
Posted by: Philip
Verified Purchase:Yes
Skip the 4K/UHD edition of "It's a Wonderful Life". You'll be really frustrated with your player and panel, thinking something's wrong with your equipment, when that is not the case. It's the disc and transfer that's problematic to some, yet not to others. In a full restoration of "It's a Wonderful Life", the best chances of seeing a much improved picture from the older disc of 10 years back is to buy the latest BLU-RAY, believe it or not. Although most 4K/UHD packaging include a BLU-RAY, this one does not. Yes, it comes with a BLU-RAY, but its the colorized version. Paramount has split it all up and sells the black and white version of "It's a Wonderful Life" either as a separate 4K/UHD disc or as a separate BLU-RAY. Now, be careful, if it's the newer BLU-RAY that you are seeking and be certain that you are reading on the front and back that you have the 2019 version and not the 2010. Your best clue is to read the back of the packaging and look for the Bonus Materials that include the topic about its restoration from the past year. That's the current and correct BLU-RAY, as the decade old version has similar art work for its cover. Again, save yourself the wear and tear of spending your money twice. Unless you are into experimenting, skip the 4K/UHD version and buy the black and white BLU-RAY, which is packaged separately.

Mixed Bag Review
on November 1, 2019
Posted by: Philip
Verified Purchase:Yes
The sound is great, but the picture quality is only fair.
This is the only 4K/UHD disc that has fallen short of the format.
Still, it's the best there is for now, until Terminator 2 gets a face-lift and an updated transfer. It'll do, for now.
