\DVD of the Director’s Cut of John Wayne’s -- The Alamo
Ever since a Laser Disc was released in 1990 of the full 202 minute Roadshow version of The Alamo, dealers have been selling copies that have been transferred to either VHS or later to DVD.
Apart from just one quality release in the last 30 years – which is now out of print – every copy of the Roadshow version on sale anywhere in the world is still being taken from that 30 year old analogue Laser Disc – they won’t fill your widescreen TV, black bars top, bottom and sides and the picture is sub video tape quality – UNTIL NOW !
We are proud to present the only official* release in DVD HD of the Director’s Cut of John Wayne’s classic movie -- The Alamo.
We have taken Blu-Ray Blu-Ray of the 162 minute version, originally released by us 2 years ago, and edited in the 18 deleted scenes missing from the Roadshow release. These scenes have been digitally restored and carefully blended in to create the finest home media release of this wonderful film.
Our DVD disc entitled “The Restoration of the Alamo” features –
· A Region Free disc that can be played anywhere in the world
· The full 202 minute movie as originally released in 1960 and exactly as John Wayne intended The Alamo to be seen
· The Overture, Intermission and Exit music from the Oscar nominated score by Dimitri Tiomkin
· All 18 deleted scenes totalling over 30 minutes of screen time
· A fabulous HD Blu Ray quality image for the non-deleted scenes
· Digitally restored images for the 18 deleted scenes
· The original TODD-AO widescreen ratio of 2.20:1
· A Dolby Stereo soundtrack restoring audio depth and dynamism to a movie that won the Oscar for “Best Sound”
· A newly designed Blu Ray sleeve featuring original artwork from the movie
PLEASE NOTE: The deleted scenes from The Alamo are from the only existing source available and despite using the latest technology to enhance the image, they are still slightly inferior in picture quality to the rest of the movie.
However, we believe the images are still perfectly acceptable and will in no way affect your enjoyment of this film.
