AMOLAD on Blu-Ray

Of course it looks extraordinary, though the 4k restoration does reveal that Kim Hunter is slightly out of focus in her close up in the opening control room scene. Jack Cardiff shot all the film, including the monochrome heaven scenes, in Technicolor, thus making possible the black-and-white to colour transition as he runs down the staircase (which was named 'Ethel')

My theory is that Peter Carter fell into the sea but was pushed to the surface by a friendly passing dolphin.

Not sure what the 1944 Senate Report on the UK is.

Love that the stairway theme is actually being played on a piano in the 'Shakespear' rehearsal scene.

Is he hallucinating? The bit with the Great Chess Games suggests it's open... *

Jack Cardiff's camera operators are Geoffrey Unsworth and Christopher Challis, editors are Reginald Mills, John Seabourne and David Powell.

*Or it doesn't. Could just be a way of explaining where the book had disappeared to.
