Classic holiday movie good for the whole family. Looks good on 4k

Got it for the 4K, never seen it before and I'm not disappointed!

WOW both color and b/w, unexpected and AWESOME quality! We debated about watching it colorized, you know...that purist perspective says NO to that. But we watched the new colorization and it was an amazing experience in 4k upscaling to see the fabrics, textures, real colors of the past and every pore on their face. It helps take you back in time!

4K makes black and white more stunning than you can imagine.

Great 4K scan of a true classic, contrast is clean!

4K HEVC HDR10 Dolby Vision with Dolby True HD 2.0 soundtrack. Prepare for a visually stunning picture that is wonderfully remastered with Dolby Vision. The artistry of Black & White film is shades of gray (grey). There are 2-point, 10-point, and 21-point grayscale calibrations meant to align Red, Blue, and Green to a color gamut standard: Rec. 709 and BT 2020. Rec. 709 is SDR version whilst BT 2020 is HDR. HDR, known as High Dynamic Range, brings screens to life and make scenes appear more realistic to our eyes. Back in the day, film was shot in black & white and projected onto a silver screen. As technology progressed, the screen changed to white and the film was projected in color. Digital has been working feverishly to catch up to film images and we are now as close as ever. Thanks to HDR, color looks amazing as do old black & white films. I admit that I was not expecting much from 2.0 audio, but it actually sounds full in Dolby True HD. Personally, I’m fine with a multi-channel sound mix even if it were not part of the original work. Being that audio is selectable, immersive fanatics like myself would be thrilled and purists could still have their “as the artist intended” version. Enjoy this Christmas classic in stunning HDR Dolby Vision as well as the colorized version on Blu-Ray 1080P. The quality of this product has me looking forward to the Casablanca remaster.

I got a little confused when I saw Samuel Jackson getting mad about snakes being in his plane, but who wouldn’t be upset in that situation?

We love the color version of this. It is very will done

Love Jimmy Stewart and this is by far the best Christmas movie ever made even though it does not have a Christmas theme. The reason is it helps one to reflect upon how precious life is and how each one can have a great impact upon others. It shows how blessed it is to give rather than to receive.

This is simply one of the best movies ever made! The story is terrific and the cast is amazing! Jimmy Stewart of course is the star but the supporting cast are also awesome. I strongly recommend this movie to anyone who has not seen it..is that possible there are people who have not seen it?

The 4K image on this title is jaw dropping! So natural and clear without artificial enhancement. Sound is lossless and very clear. There are a few new entertaining extras, most interesting is the restoration process. But Paramount included only the colorized version on Blu-ray!

My parents love this movie and this one has both the black and white version as well as the colored.

This is one of the best Christmas movies of all time!

Please do yourself a favor and watch the movie the way the director chose to film it, in black & white. Color was available. Frank Capra wanted the various shades of grey as much of it was as if in a dream. Magnificent acting too. Jimmy Stewart deserved an Oscar.

This 4k transfer has excellent picture quality and the black and white cinematography looks great!

Christmas time is all about family, friends, and the joy of doing something for others. This movie captures all of this which makes it a classic. Jimmy Stewart is awesome as George Bailey, a down on his luck dreamer who finds out he is the luckiest man of all. You will enjoy!

If you have not seen this movie you are lucky, because you get to see it for the very first time. I saw it on TV ages ago, bought the Laser Disc decades ago, bought the DVD years ago, got the Blu-ray 3 years ago and now the 4K. This movie was released 1946 and the picture on the 4K disc is outstanding. Black blacks, White whites and all the gray tones in between. Crystal clear dialogue.

One of greatest movies of all time. Watch every Christmas. Can say enough great things about it

Frank Capra's masterpiece in beautiful hd, what more can you ask.

This is a must have if you have a Christmas collection of movies that you watch every year.
