Twelve Angry Men on Blu-ray

Posted by Jazz Inmate (A) on December 26, 2011 at 11:57:57

One of the greatest films of Sidney Lumet's and Henry Fonda's careers is coming to Blu-ray soon. Happily this will be a Criterion transfer, so I bet it will be like seeing this film for the first time. I've previously only seen broadcasts on NTSC TVs at 1.33:1. The Criterion is near the original aspect ratio of the film (1.85:1), although the Blu-ray will be at 1.67:1--I assume to "fit" on today's TVs. Still much better than the chopped versions on TV.

Amazon actually has slashed the price nearly in half through Dec 31 (link below).
