Test drive

After getting a new toy, I just had to watch something. What better way to try out a shiny Blu-ray gadget than watching a black & white film from 1947 on DVD, I ask? We continued the Project with The Paradine Case, which is not one of Hitchcock's greatest but actually worked well as a trial run, being about a trial (ha ha).

In all seriousness, it was a good candidate because my American disc benefits from some pretty impressive restoration work. When the upscaling performed by the BD player was added to this (I don't claim to know which was the more important factor), the picture quality was very good for such an old film.
