That's great. Another under-appreciated noir I love dearly. I hope someone gets D.O.A. on blu ray one of these days, too.

Another title is jumping from Fox's MOD release to blu-ray from Kino - Fritz Lang's Western Union. Already out on blu in Germany.

WOW. Never in a million years would have guessed that was on their radar for upgrading. Total masterpiece, the film is literally the textbook example of "You'll laugh, you'll cry"

For some reason they're releasing Boomerang, which Fox already put out on Blu Ray

Boomerang was only in the now OOP Kazan Vol. 1 box set. This indicates that Kino is getting the remaining titles from those sets that never got individual releases.

I'm counting on Arrow's version being better.

The video presentation of The Ox Bow Incident from DVDTalk was given 3 out of 5 stars.
This sounds like it'll affect the Arrow release as well.DVDTalk reviewer wrote:Video:
The Ox-Bow Incident receives a new 4k scan for this release, and is presented in AVC encoded 1080p high definition in its original 1.33.1 fullframe aspect ratio. The original negative for this film is lost so this new scan was done from a dupe negative, the best available option, and it look good if soft. Contrast is nice, there's very little print damage and black levels are pretty strong. Some shots do show better detail than others but texture and detail are less pronounced here than you might expect it to be. Although the movie and the extras are presented on a 25GB disc there aren't any compression problems nor is there any obvious edge enhancement. This looks good in a lot of ways, it's just soft.
