Video Quality
All six films in the Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection: Volume 3 are given a 2160p 4K UHD upgrade that serve as a magnificent step up from their Blu-Ray counterparts. The set also includes Blu-Ray versions of each film all derived from the new 4K masters except for From Here To Eternity. The previous releases were presented to varying degrees of success on Blu-Ray with some films released by Sony themselves while others were put out by boutique labels such as The Criterion Collection or Twilight Time. Sony takes the lead this time around and completely decimates any previous releases with these new 4K UHD Blu-Ray discs. In an effort to not duplicate descriptions, I will group certain films together while pointing out noticeable differences. The main takeaway for this collection is that all transfers are representative of the highest level of quality Sony has been providing on this format, especially. A 5-star effort all around.
For the black-and-white It Happened One Night and From Here To Eternity, the results of the 4K upgrade are a wonder and exemplifies how the format can make older movies shine. The release of It Happened One Night was struck from a 4K restoration completed in 2012 of the Fine Grain Master that had just been made from the original negatives. With this new release, a new HDR grade has been applied along with a cleanup of additional flicker and dirt that became apparent with HDR. From Here To Eternity improves on the previous restoration completed near the end of the 2000’s at a 2K level with a brand new 4K scan of the 1954 Fine Grain Master made from the original negative at the time along with one reel of the original negative (which otherwise has been lost to time) which includes the iconic evening beach scene. Both of these are striking efforts from the restoration teams.
One of the first things you will notice is that the transfers eradicate any dust specks or print damage that may have survived previous restorations. The films are immensely clean and clear while thankfully maintaining the filmic quality of the pictures with well resolved film grain that gives way to sumptuous details. There are small facets within the clothing and production design that were previously overlooked that are suddenly on full display with this transfer. This picture displays an impressive amount of depth to the image which gives way to a pleasing sense of scale within the locale. The grander improvement falls to From Here To Eternity, which had a softer look on its last release which is enhanced tenfold. There are certain baked-in limitations to how much detail you can get from It Happened One Night, but there is definite improvement.
The HDR grading proves to be the MVP for these titles as it allows for a more faithful sense of grayscale than ever before. The precision of the separation between black and white is truly breathtaking. The highlights are more firmly defined without ever falling back to a more creamy appearance or blooming at its most luminous. Black levels are incredibly deep without any unsightly nuisances such as digital noise or compression artifacts. The black and white cinematography is simply gorgeous with smooth gradients and subtle textures. These classic films are often the ones that afford the greatest improvements on the format, much more so than the modern blockbusters like you would expect.
To Sir, With Love and The Last Picture Show makes their 4K UHD Blu-Ray debut with fetching 2160p/Dolby Vision transfers which allow the films to look better than they ever have. To Sir, With Love utilizes a 4K restoration of Original Camera Negative with some replacements using a duplicate negative due to major tears across a reel. The Last Picture Show is derived from a new 4K restoration of the Original Camera Negatives which marks the first time these elements have been used for home entertainment. Not only this, but with this release the Theatrical Version is available for the first time on disc alongside the Definitive Director’s Cut, both with Dolby Vision grading. These new 4K UHD discs offer substantial improvements over the previous Blu-Rays, especially in the optical dissolves of The Last Picture Show. Both movies have the perfect amount of natural film grain which can be very thick in the case of The Last Picture Show, but always very tight and specific. This allows the movies to sparkle and gives so much pleasing texture and detail to the transfers. The images present a stupendous amount of depth that makes these vastly different locales feel more three dimensional than ever.
The improvements in contrast and overall clarity are extraordinary, especially when you look at the exteriors of buildings or textures on outfits. The UHD disc of To Sir, With Love contains very vibrant, deep colors throughout various elements such as automobiles and clothing. The Last Picture Show, on the other hand, has a commanding sense of control over the greyscale. Each title provides bolder white levels complemented with a greater stability that never veers into blooming. Black levels are deep and allow the picture to maintain an excellent amount of detail in darker environments. Skin tones look natural and the clarity of the transfer gives you a great amount of facial detail. These transfers are a treat for fans of these cinematic classics. They are worlds apart when it comes to narrative, but equally cared for by Sony.
The 4K UHD Blu-Ray of Annie offers a noticeable uptick in quality over the already strong accompanying Blu-Ray, itself remastered and an upgrade from the older 30th anniversary Blu-Ray. This transfer has been derived from a 4K restoration of the 35mm Original Picture Negative and an HDR/Dolby Vision pass. The greatest gains are in the exploration of the color spectrum. The Dolby Vision really harnesses the visual wonder that you expect from a vibrant musical and features it to its full potential. One only has to look at any scene set in the Warbucks mansion to experience visual brilliance. Even the “drab” colors of the orphanage present with a grander depth and brilliance than one may expect. Colors are more rich, natural and accurate to what was intended by the creative team. The highlights in the film are more defined with whites pure and balanced with no occurrences of blooming to be found. The black levels are especially jaw-dropping in this presentation, staying deep and inky with great detail.
The transfer does not lose its glorious film grain that resolves favorably without being clumpy or unnatural. The production design that makes up this tale of two worlds is presented with immense depth and perfect clarity. Take a look at the ruddy furniture at the orphanage to see a wide array of minute details that are visible for the first time ever on disc. The costumes and textural output is simply a sight to behold with everything rendering without any issues. There has been no digital tinkering on this transfer, so this disc is free of DNR, compression artifacts and other encode issues. Skin tones appear more natural with healthy doses of fine detail apparent on faces such as freckles and pores. This is a very natural looking transfer that offers up a flawless presentation that should please longtime fans.
As Good As It Gets makes its long-awaited 4K UHD Blu-Ray debut with a tremendous 2160p/Dolby Vision transfer that allows the film to look better than it ever has. A previous high definition master was created using a 35mm interpositive, but this new master is sourced from a 4K scan of the 35mm Original Picture Negative with Dolby Vision/HDR applied which means this disc is given a whole new level of color and detail never before seen on home media. Even compared to the accompanying Blu-Ray, this disc offers nice improvements in several respects. You can clearly see specific text such as some writing on mail or on books that were too unclear to capture before. The improvements in contrast, sharpness and overall clarity will astound you, especially when you look at the depth and detail of the interiors and textures of the clothing.
The UHD disc contains very striking and deep colors throughout even if the palette shot by John Bailey is not as bright and sunny as many comedies. This is a disc where Dolby Vision is given a chance to truly shine, both in the primaries and in the low-key lighting that is more refined than ever. Shadow detail is much improved thanks to the deep black levels which never devolve into crush. White levels are brighter and offer a greater stability and saturation without veering into blooming. Skin tones look natural and the clarity of the transfer gives you a great amount of facial detail including wrinkles and makeup. This transfer is a winner for fans.
Audio Quality
All of these 4K UHD Blu-Ray discs are provided with a new Dolby Atmos track outside of It Happened One Night and The Last Picture Show which only retain their very agreeable lossless DTS-HD Mono Master audio tracks. All of the other films also include their original lossless audio tracks for the purists. The sheer amount of audio and subtitle options Sony provides on these discs is unlikely to displease anyone.
Outside of a few sequences in From Here To Eternity and the inherent grandiosity of a musical like Annie, most of these films are very reserved and would seem unlikely candidates for a Dolby Atmos upgrade. That being said, the Atmos tracks mostly open up these soundscapes tastefully with a real sense of immersion and power. While the focus may be on the front channels for most of the sounds, activity extends to the surrounds, rears and overhead speakers to make these environments feel more lived-in and all-encompassing. The sounds up above complement the main activity admirably without seeming unnatural to the creative intent. These channels come alive in films such as From Here To Eternity with falling rain and planes zipping by, but even a classroom drama like To Sir, With Love has some fine texture overhead.
All of the films are really satisfying when it comes to the music, as the memorable and moving scores surround you in a really satisfying, enveloping way. Of course, a musical such as Annie feels momentous in this regard as the sound of the instrumentation swells in conjunction with the soaring vocals. Dialogue is crisp and clear without ever getting lost amongst the music or sound effects. The low end effects from the subwoofer give certain moments that much-needed extra weight such as the impact of certain explosions in From Here To Eternity. Atmospheric sound effects are rendered appropriately within each mix so that directionality is never an issue. These films are without a doubt more dialogue driven, but the expanded audio track still allows them to feel more substantial than ever. Sony has mostly done some tremendous work on these presentations.
One negative that must be pointed out is similar to an issue we have with the recent Dolby Atmos track on the Fright Night 4K UHD Blu-Ray. When viewing Annie with the new Dolby Atmos track, there are some issues with missing sound effects and instrumentation. The most notable example is during “Easy Street” you will notice missing drum hits when Rooster and Lily are thrown through the open wall, and the exaggerated sound effect of Miss Hannigan running into the wall is also gone. These instruments and effects are present in both the 5.1 and 2.0 tracks, so this feels like an unintended error during the creation of the Atmos track. Other than this screw up, the Atmos track is an immersive force from beginning to end. The inclusion of these correct tracks keeps this from being a complete disaster, but hiccups like this should not be happening with these new Atmos tracks.
Special Features
The Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection: Volume 3 includes a coffee table style book featuring an introductory essay explaining the thematic link shared between the six titles in this collection followed by essays for each title. The book includes the new essay “Falling In Love with It Happened One Night” by Indiewire Executive Editor of Film Kate Erbland, “From ‘Unfilmable’ To Classic: The Unlikely Journey Of From Here To Eternity” by film historian Julie Kirgo, “To Sir Sidney, With Mad Love” by professor Miki Turner, “The Heartbreak and Heartache of The Last Picture Show” by author Peter Tonguette, “Bet Your Bottom Dollar: Annie at 40” by SPHE Executive Director Jeremy Glassman, and “Casting As Good As It Gets” by director James L. Brooks. Each of these break down the themes of the story, the production, the legacy of the picture and more. There is also a brief section dedicated to details on the remastering process for each film. These materials provide a great amount of context and insight into each film that is very worthwhile. Please watch the unboxing video of the packaging at the top of this review. The on-disc special features are as follows:
It Happened One Night
4K UHD Blu-Ray
