The Man Who Knew Too Much: R1 vs. R1 masterpiece boxset
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Top: R1 original
Bottom: R1 Masterpiece Collection
The new digital transfer has removed all the dirt and scratches that plagued the original master. The noise
reduction has been reduced and has resulted in a fine look. Colours are cooler and look much more natural.
Cropping isn't too bad but there are a few instances here and there. But the transfer has one big downfall that
can be seen in the above shots, edge enhancement. Some moron at Universal decided to sharpen the movie
giving it that artifical look that transfers like The Spy Who Loved Me ultimate edition and Die hard with a Vengeance
special edition are ruined by. One can only hope that if these titles hit HD, the edge enhancement will be fixed
because other than that this transfer is almost flawless.
Cropping:
There's one capture that shows the new transfer is missing some information during a particular shot.
The new transfer is overlapped onto the previous transfer.
