I purchased two Sony televisions, a 43" and a 49". This mount was clearly the perfect choice (for me) for both of them.
Simple straightforward design. The instructions are readable and make sense. The enclosed template facilitated the placement and allowed me to be certain that it was level before I started to drill. And the final mounting took place without a hitch and I felt pretty secure once it was in place (having little experience with mounting a t.v.).
And the best part is that if I upgrade to a 65" at some point, I can repurpose this mount to use with the bigger set.
Looking for a "thumbs up" emoji.

![Touch of Evil [Blu-ray] [1958]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Touch of Evil [Blu-ray] [1958]
First Class Orson Welles
Customer Rating
5.0
Universal studios got lucky when Charlton Heston recommended Orson Welles to direct "Touch Of Evil". First class work.
But, as usual with Welles work, no one seemed to understand what they had. There are at least 3 versions of this film.
When Welles finished his directorial duties, he left the country to develop another film. Universal, puzzled by what was left behind, shot some new footage and pieced the whole thing together the best they could. When Welles returned, he was understandably upset by what he saw and wrote a 58 page memo about changes they should make. But it was too late. Universal released their 95 minute version.
Years later, in the 70s, a 108 minute preview version was found and released. And much later, in the late 90s a producer and fan of the film convinced Universal to recut the film with available materials and using Welles 58 page memo as a guide. This version runs 111 minutes and is frequently considered the definitive version.
All three are included here (via seamless branching) and all seem to be in excellent condition. Welles has taken what was a standard detective story and turned it into a dark noir classic. Excellent performances by the entire cast with Dennis Weaver as a bizarre standout and Welles himself donning grotesque makeup to turn himself into the (literal) heavy of the piece.
Well worth the purchase.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers [Blu-ray] [1954]
Great to have 7 Brides on Blu-Ray
Customer Rating
4.0
Both the 2.55:1 wide release Cinemascope and the 1.85:1 flat version are included. Only the Cinemascope version has been restored.
I had higher hopes for the overall look of the film. Some of the colors and grain structure seem wildly out of wack (most of this appears to be in the "on location" work, not so much in studio). I'm assuming the original negative for the film was in worse condition than desired to make it look pristine. The flat version looks good but not great.
The remixed audio (5.1) sounds terrific (for the period) and the 2 channel for the flat version is fine.
The film itself... well, classic 50s MGM. A great fun romp with terrific choreography by Michal Kidd.

The Pajama Game [Blu-ray] [1957]
Another great Warner Archive release
Customer Rating
5.0
Just shy of a full restoration. The color and clarity is excellent. The only "odd" moments are crossfades from one scene to another. These opticals needed to be redone.
The film itself, minus a couple of numbers omitted from the original Broadway production, is a pretty good representation of what you would have seen on stage. Doris Day (the newcomer to the project) is charming. John Raitt's is in excellent voice (although he lacks something as an actor, coming across a little awkward and uncomfortable). Lots of the rest are direct pulls from Broadway and are great characters.
And, of course, there is Bob Fosse's choreography. Brilliant.

The Buster Keaton Collection: Volume 4 [Blu-ray]
Another Excellent Keaton Release
Customer Rating
5.0
The fourth in a series of Cohen Film Collection releases. They continue their high standards of remastering and releasing Buster Keaton's catalog of films.
Great transfers that, sometimes, look contemporary. Excellent scores to go along with them.

Does this also tilt from side to side or just up and down?
Just up and down. You need a much more elaborate mount for it to move side to side (it needs to be able to pull out from the wall to accomplish this). Best Buy does carry a product that also does side to side. But this is not the one. You want the "full motion" mount, RF-HTLF23.
