Sabrina(1954)

7.5/10

dir. Billy Wilder

A-Tier

Kino Lorber's announcement got immediate pre-orders. People were eyeing the Blu-ray when the 4K dropped, and the relief in the comments was palpable. The slipcover artwork is beautiful and the special features are loaded, with two commentary tracks and multiple featurettes. Paramount loosening their licensing policy is part of why this exists. Breakfast at Tiffany's in 4K is the next Hepburn title everyone keeps requesting.

To Catch a Thief(1955)

7.3/10

dir. Alfred Hitchcock

C-Tier

Paramount Presents 4K with a steelbook that Amazon accidentally priced at $13.99 during a preorder glitch. The C-Tier rating comes from the original Blu-ray transfer, which collectors called an abomination. The 4K corrected the color timing and Grace Kelly's Riviera wardrobe finally looks right. This is the one Hitchcock 4K not from Universal.
