Now streaming on Tubi (ad supported free streaming service), is the hard to find 1977 crime thriller The Perfect Killer. Currently not available on blu-ray or DVD in the US, the only version I've been able to find was an old VHS copy from 30 years ago. This is a significant upgrade over that.
VIDEO:
This presentation of the film is the uncut longer international version (approximately 5 minutes longer than the US cut). Any scene that was not part of the 92 minute US version will not be in English, but will feature Italian with no subtitles.
Quality is roughly that of a standard definition DVD. Not sure where this was sourced from, but would love to find a non-streaming version.
The widescreen presentation is a vast improvement over the previous US release (available streaming to rent or buy on Amazon). Comparisons below-

AUDIO:
Probably the best version of the film quality-wise to-date.

The audio is in English only (aside from the extended international bits), and not of the best quality. The film does feature a fantastic score.
IN CONCLUSION:
Probably the best version of the film quality-wise to-date.
THE GOOD:
THE BAD:
I have the old VHS version. I need to get this.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly John Ireland is in this film. Ireland was a leading man in several films in the 1940's and 50's.
