Jack and the Beanstalk - In COLOR!

Nicely Remastered
Pleasantly surprised by the remastering! The sound is great. While I still appreciate the grainy, vinyl record sound of days past that layer has been removed leaving clear voices and music. The faded 1952 color has been corrected with wonderful results. The color still 'flickers' in a few scenes (like the original) but the visual is crisp and whimsical. I love the Special Features, especially the "This is Your Life". The real life history of Lou Costello is very interesting and the show itself was quite poignant. Highly Recommended for Abbott and Costello fans.

TERRIBLE DO NOT BE FOOLED!
This "new" version by Legend Films is nothing more than the original 1952 78 minute version that has been "color Corrected". The word re-mastering means that is was transfered to another media source. IE: DVD. It has nothing to do with restoration, which it implies. The picture is grainy, and the color does not look right. There is nothing new here, itr's the same old print all over again.

When will Legend Films stop screwing up, and release some quality films? Remember their "Restored" version of The Flying Deuces? Enough said.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, GET THE ROAN VERSION INSTEAD.

A&C in Color.
This movie was released in color (the reality scenes at the beginning and end are in sepia). The color in this copy is decent and picture quality is good. The story is the basic Jack & the Beanstalk and there are some good moments in the film but it is not one of A&C's better ones.
