The General (1926) BD UPDATED

Post by Brent_Reid »

The Divisa is 1080i, not 1080p.
You could add that the Kino Video and Divisa's Thames Silent Score is conducted by Carl Davis.
Can't find my copy for the Kino Lorber's exact runtime but think it's 75:29. Can anyone confirm?

Amend the notes for each listing:
Kino Lorber: 2016 B&W 2K restoration by Lobster Films.
Kino Video: 2009 sepia transfer of a 35mm archive print struck from the original negative.
Divisa: 2013 B&W 4K restoration of the original negative by Cohen Film Collection.

FWIW, in terms of sharpness and detail the Kino Video and Divisa are on a par, with the latter having the edge. I and most others prefer the sepia Kino though. The Kino Lorber looks great overall and better than any DVD, but is definitely the least detailed.

The Kino is 78:52.
Will tackle this later today.

EDIT: I guess you meant the reissue. My above runtime was for the original Blu.

Updated the listing, but one more question: Is the Divisia 1080i 60hz or 50hz?

Those Kinos are confusing; I guess you could label them as Original and Reissue...

On the original Kino I'd suggest amending "sepia tone tint" to just "sepia tint", as it's a bit confusing. Toning is a distinct pohotochemical colouring process as opposed to tinting, which is what the print actually has.

The Divisa is 50Hz, as shown here.
