Penny Serenade (1941) UPDATED

Postby Brent_Reid » 08 May 2019 15:35

Needs a footnote:

Penny Serenade is in the public domain and all currently listed DVDs are bargain bin cheapies with poor A/V and missing a pivotal five minute courtroom scene. Complete, good quality DVDs and BDs from restored original vault materials have been released in the US by Olive and Germany by Alive.

The Olives are vanilla, so specs shouldn't be too hard to find. Give me a week or so to dig it out and I'll add the German BD details, though this review is pretty comprehensive.

The US BD has the same transfer as the German, but I can't find its exact runtime. I thought it worth including, as it's the only other legit BD.

Hi James, I see you've added a BD comparison, but the German specs are inaccurate. The film has no subs but the documentary does, and the trailer info is missing. It's all in my second post!

I don't see a reason to change it from how it is, so no.

I'm going to make an assumption the documentary is in English. If not, please let us know.

Bonus trailers updated, subtitles removed for the main feature.

Cheers for the updates, but re amending my footnote (see OP), as none of the listed DVDs have timings, I can't swear they're all incomplete, so on reflection decided to amend it. There's at least one ropey but full-length upload on the Internet Archive which looks to be PD DVD-derived, so there must be some out there.
