Customer Reviews

Good film and unfortunate copy
This film (a.k.a. "Black Book") is good and very interesting for many reasons: direction (great Anthony Mann), actors (Richard Basehart and special mention for one of my favorites: Charles McGraw), photography (wonderful John Alton) and artistic direction (E.I. Ilou and W.C. Menzies), among others. I recommend the film but this copy do not respect de original ratio of photogram: the true format it is 1:37. The image it is deformed because Reel Classics Films print a copy in panoramic format!!. Best regards.

Very poor transfer
This film is well acted,photographed (John Alton) and directed. The transfer is horrendous. This is the reason I can only give this DVD two stars. This film should be re-mastered.I would purchase it again if this were ever done.The plot is very interesting as it concerns the French Revolution as Film Noir. Great script,snappy dialogue.
