The Stranger (1946) BD UPDATED

Postby Brent_Reid » 23 Sep 2017 05:49

DVDBeaver's review lists the exact runtimes of Olive's BD: the film's 95:16 while the trailer's 2:09, as opposed to the current DVDC listed time of "3 mins".

The four BD runtimes are also all quite different, with 79 sec difference between the longest and shortest, though the Kino and Odeon are supposed to contain the same LoC-restored transfer. Can anyone confirm they all have the same amount of footage and it's just due to different credits?

Updated the US Olive. Not sure if there are differences besides credits in the runtimes. I only have the Kino myself.

Ok then: the Kino and Odeon are the longest and shortest. My Odeon begins directly on the title card featuring a compass and ends with "The End/An International Picture/Released Through/RKO Radio Pictures, Inc." superimposed over Edward G. Robinson lighting and smoking his pipe. It actually ends at 93:55, as opposed to the 93:57 stated here and on DVDBeaver. How does your Kino play?

The Kino Lorber disc's runtime is actually 94:38 - which has been updated.

It starts with 23 seconds of "Kino Lorber" and "Library of Congress" logos.
It has the same compass logo opening for the film and the same The End title card as the Odeon.
It has 10 seconds of "Crawford Media Services" logo at the end - the authoring company of the disc.

Total 33 extra seconds.

If I've read you right, perhaps the footnotes could be amended to:

    Blu-ray ALL America- Kino Lorber - No cuts (93:54) [or whatever it is] LoC restoration - Plus there are 33 extra seconds of newly-added Kino/LoC/disc authoring opening/closing logos; total runtime 94:27
    Blu-ray ALL United Kingdom- Odeon Entertainment - No cuts (93:57) LoC restoration
I'd like to know what accounts for the Olive's total runtime; whether it too has added credits or logos. I'd be tempted to pick it up if it wasn't so pricey over here - and heavily cropped with a blurrier picture. Can anyone help?

I will ask Gary Tooze and see if he can help.

Looks like the answer is the Olive Blu and MGM DVD have one additional segment missing from the LoC print. Will update the listings later.

Excellent! Can you amend the Odeon to 93:55 please? It would also be clearer if the Kino listed the runtime of the actual film.

Do you know at what point the 1 min belltower scene starts, timing-wise? Unless it has newly-added credits, I suppose the HD Cinema Classics BD may have that extra scene too...

Updated the runtime. I don't know where the scene plays exactly. As for the HD Classics disc, I doubt the scene is there, but asking for confirmation.
