Columbo the Complete Boxset [Blu-ray]

Product Information

While I lament the loss of those canceled extra features, nevertheless, KLSC has done a masterful job with this set. Some things could have been done differently to make them appear even more attractive, but I could not be happier to have Kino Lorber's massive box set in my library. Vary rarely is hiss ever an issue as dialog, sound effects, and the scores for each episode are pitch-perfect.

Klasse, diese 1970er Jahre-Serie: angesiedelt bei den "Reichen und Schönen" im sonnigen South-California, diese riesigen Prachtvillen, diese riesigen Grundstücke mit Hausbediensteten, noch so bürgerlich-bieder, noch so klassisch europäisch anklingende Einangstüren und Mobiliar, erfolgreiche Frauen in gesellschaftlichen Machtpositionen, die wie selbstverständlich ihre eigenen Privat-Flugzeuge zum Freizeitvergnügen steuern, da werden noch alkoholhaltige Getränke unverpönt geschlürft und Zigarren und Zigarretten nebenbei geschmaucht, riesige schnurgebundene Telefonapparate mit Wählscheibe, "elektronische" Anrufbeantwortungsmaschinen, die so groß sind wie eine Kommode, Magnettonbandgeräte mit Spulen und mechanisch einrastenden Bedientasten und Vinylschallplattenabspielgeräte in einem Phono-Möbel integriert, Kunstfaser-Teppichböden in den schrillsten Farben und dann die geradezu leichtfüßige Herangehensweise der Täter und Täterinnen: da wird gerade mal ein Taschentuch benutzt, um etwaige Fingerabdrücke zu vermeiden - kriminaltechnisch heute lächerlich, denn DNA-Spurenanalyse gab es damals ja noch nicht. It’s probably not a feature I’d run very often since I’m more likely to just want to watch the episode but it’s a nice bonus all the same. I’ve rewatched each and every “classic era” episode on DVD AND BLU-RAY (the Japanese box) and I can confirm that the Blu-ray episodes are 100% FULLY UNCUT with no edits whatsoever!You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Booklet - a 20-page illustrated guide for the multiple episodes in the first seven seasons of Columbo. Here’s hoping the likes of Steven Spielberg, Lee Grant, Dick Van Dyke, William Shatner, Clive Revill, Susan Clark and Trish Van Devere may pop up on the audio tracks to provide first-hand commentary on the filming of the show, too. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. The roast guest list is vintage 1978 pop culture: George Burns, Gene Kelly, Jimmy Stewart, Dom DeLuise, Rich Little, Don Rickles, Ronald Reagan (not President yet).

Due to unforeseen issues, we can no longer include all the new audio commentaries, essay and other extras we had produced for our upcoming Columbo: 1970s boxed set. The classic episodes are set to be released in late summer, with the ‘new Columbo‘ set following in late 2023 or early 2024. D'ailleurs je trouve que ces auteurs ont pris un coup de vieux, c'est vrai le style s'est renouvelé, ils devraient, eux aussi envisager de se remettre en question . As I mentioned in the audio section, each episode has an optional music and effects track that is pretty cool to listen to.The discrepancies are particularly easy to spot in darker areas with different ranges of nuances, but elsewhere the primary settings can reveal the shift in quality as well. The show has always been entertaining in any format, but it’s a real treat to watch the show looking so fresh.
