Blu-ray is a big disappointment
The Blu-ray doesn't look much better to me than previous DVD releases I've seen, which isn't saying much, and is a shame. Its been transferred from an available print, but not "restored", just cleaned up somewhat. I'm not particularly a fan of this dark and artificial film, but I'm a HUGE fan of Technicolor restorations on Blu-ray which can sometimes be jaw-dropping; this isn't one of them. Its possible that there isn't any better source-material extant and nothing better will ever be available; the original Technicolor materials are often long-gone, especially for the earliest pictures like this one.
