ìWe’re very excited about this meticulous new restoration from Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging and, in particular, how incredible Doctor Zhivago will look on Blu-ray,î said George Feltenstein, WHV’s Senior Vice President, Theatrical Catalog Marketing. ìThe qualities that have kept the film so vital and popular all these years ñ the sweeping love story, the gorgeous vistas and unforgettable imagery ñ are all dramatically enhanced through the unprecedented technical capabilities of Blu-ray. The result is not only breathtakingly beautiful to look at but also provides a magnificent aural experience with Zhivago’s highly-lauded sound mix presented with unprecedented clarity and dimension.î
WHV had stopped sales of the previous DVD edition of this movie in September 7 in preparation of this new release.
