Editor's Notes

Note

Paramount A-Tier 4K. Billy Wilder's Hollywood noir finally got a 4K release after years of collectors asking for it. Paramount put it out at a fair price without limited edition nonsense, and the transfer has gotten a mixed reception on forums. Barnes and Noble has had it around $14.96 USD, which is hard to argue with for a film this important. Black and white films done well in 4K can be stunning, and early reports suggest this one looks good even if it's not reference-tier.
