Worst transfer I've ever seen.

I have a cheapo copy that I bought for about five bucks (when it was in public domain?) about 20 years ago. Saw it last night on TCM and was awestruck by the clarity and color. Must have been restored(?)

Borrowed a copy from my local library and the color was atrocious.I could barely watch the movie it was so bad.Probably the same company you had. I'm going to try for a better copy.

Very bad quality

When a movie goes into public domain, anyone can transfer and sell a copy from whatever source they have (including even filming it from a TV screen). Amazon lists a number of such "unofficial" releases; and because they very frustratingly aggregate reviews without distinguishing between different versions, this makes it nearly impossible to tell from reviews which releases may be better than others.

None of the posts here complaining about the transfer quality bother to say what release is being referred to, so that's no help at all. I have a copy of the Westlake Entertainment DVD, which is not a great transfer, but is far from being the "worst I've ever seen." It's not bad, but there might well be better ones.

In general I've found that Korean or Japanese transfers of public domain movies, with subtitles in either of those languages, usually tend to be higher in quality than cheap ripoff DVDs, if that helps.
