For more about The Palm Beach Story and the The Palm Beach Story Blu-ray release, see the The Palm Beach Story Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on January 2, 2015 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Preston Sturges Writer: Preston Sturges Starring: Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor, Rudy Vallée, Sig Arno, Robert Warwick Producer: Buddy G. DeSylva » See full cast & crew The Palm Beach Story Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in its original aspect ratio of 1.37:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Preston Sturges' The Palm Beach Story arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. The following text appears inside the leaflet provided with this Blu-ray release: "This new digital transfer was created in 4K resolution on a Scanity film scanner from a 35mm nitrate fine-grain and a safety duplicate negative. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, scratches, splices, and warps were manually removed using MTI's DRS, while Digital Vision's Phoenix and Pixel Farm's PFClean were used for small dirt, grain, noise management, flicker, and jitter. Scanning supervisor: Russell Smith. Film scanning: Sony Colorworks, Culver City, CA. Colorist: Lee Kline." Recently restored in 4K, the film has a very stable and pleasing organic appearance. Depth and clarity are very good, while contrast levels remain stable throughout the entire film. There are no traces of problematic degraining corrections. However, there are some minor density fluctuations that are responsible for some sporadic small variations in terms of grain exposure. Usually, in these specific areas the image appears marginally softer. There are no traces of problematic sharpening adjustments. Color stability is very good -- the blacks appear natural and stable, while the whites and the variety of grays are well balanced. Overall image stability is excellent -- there are no frame jumps, problematic transitions, or edge flicker. Damage marks, debris, dirt, cuts, and stains have been carefully removed as well. Lastly, there are no encoding anomalies to report in this review. All in all, time has certainly left its mark on this very entertaining film, but it has a convincing organic appearance that should please its fans as well as viewers that will experience it for the fist time on Blu-ray. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content). The Palm Beach Story Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: English LPCM 1.0. For the record, Criterion have provided optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. Clarity and depth are good. The music is also well balanced with the dialog, though during select transitions there is some flatness in the high frequencies (check the music around the 00.43.56 mark where the train is seen passing by). Also, occasionally some extremely light background hiss makes its presence felt. Still, overall the sound is very well balanced and there are no serious issues that might affect negatively your viewing experience.
