I began the evening with JOHNNY GUITAR recorded onto a DVD-R from ENcore. I'm sure the R2 DVD is sharper. This print really seesawed with focus throughout. Perhaps Miss Crawford had them use filters for her close-ups. Whatever, it didn't seem as sharp as the screen captures on HTF.
The color, however, seems to be the same. All the primary colors were vibrant. So, I can certainly make do with this version until the rights holder sees fit to release it in Region 1.
