Then, continuing on Blu-ray, I put in THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT Part II. As with the first film, not all of the clips look good in high def (black and white tends to look grainier though Sinatra's "I Believe" from IT HAPPENED IN BROOKLYN didn't look grainy at all.)
As in the first film, the HIGH SOCIETY clips really looked excellent in high def, and I also thought some of the EASTER PARADE clips, "I Like Myself" from IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER, and "I Remember It Well" from GIGI looked superb. (Strangely, the clips from GIGI in the first TE didn't look that great in HD). And also, once again, every time they blow up an Academy ratio movie to widescreen proportions, the HD causes the sharpness to go away, and the grain structure is revealed. The Esther Williams/Cypress Gardens finale from EASY TO LOVE is ruined due to this, and ANNIE GET YOUR GUN looks washed out, too, with this treatment.
