Editor's Notes

Note

S-Tier Kino Lorber 4K. Early Kubrick, black and white, 4:3 aspect ratio. People thought it was wild that this got a 4K release before Eyes Wide Shut. The transfer itself is clean. First-time viewers tend to approach it as a curiosity piece rather than essential Kubrick, which is fair for a 1955 B-movie noir.
