Miss Marple: Volume One Blu-ray | Classic British Mystery Series | Perfect for Movie Nights & Detective Fans

How very much I love all things Marple is humiliating. Moving on....The high definition restoration on Miss Marple is nothing short of a digital miracle. The colors brightened to such an extent, I found myself remembering dull and drab locations and people practically dressed in burlap sacks as compared to what they were wearing, sitting on, walking past. Nothing is unnatural, not too bright, not neon, certainly not overly contrasted, but precisely what you would expect in terms of the coloring on objects, locations and people, if this were filmed today without any strange lenses or lights. It appears wholly natural, real, and beautiful. I didn't expect such a high quality presentation. To add to that, the clarity is excellent, film grain was satisfactory to me, and I am never pleased with grain, and the aspect ratio is maintained. The only picture issue is the standard one for UK shows released on Blu-ray in America: this should be faster, by 4%, showing in the original PAL compatible speed at 1080i and, as a consequence of the films running slightly slower, because they were slowed down during conversion, the dialog seems a bit slow, to me and the films drag ever so slightly. Still, this is a beautiful set for video/picture quality and will not be beat.For sound, the audio appears to me very well preserved. I did not notice significant flaws. Voices were clear and consistent and the music was as fun as ever.I hope you find what you are looking for. As for this one, I absolutely recommend it for anyone who loves Marple and very strongly advise getting this one if you love a love of quaint English villages and murder mysteries.
