Review of BluRay transfer worth reading...

...before you spend the $95.00 US. It's been reformatted from the 1:33 to 1:78 (16 by 9 aspect) for HD. I'd buy it. I have an older dvd set that I'm happy with. Carl Davis' main title score has never left my head from the first time I heard it. Devastating. And using Shostakovich (sp) Leningrad for the siege is incredible. I also thought the sound fx added were very affecting. And Olivier can really tell a story, his narration is superb. The Holocaust segment is mind boggling. Brought the "Night and the Fog" to mind.

***And using Shostakovich (sp) Leningrad for the siege is incredible.

I am sure it is... just as it is over-abused million times. The combination has been all too trivial trivial for decades.

Not a criticism of the series, just a note.

How was the reformatting done?
