Michel Hafner (10 December 2001):
The multi Oscar winner and blockbuster of 1953, From Here to Eternity (1953) is now released on DVD from Columbia/Tristar. Does it look oscarworthy?
The film master used is in good shape with no major blemishes except for the Pearl Harbor documentary footage, that is. It's very clean for its age and also steady.
Contrast rendition is fine. But a bit uneven as are other image quality aspects. The transfer looks as if it has been made from film elements of different quality, not all from the same generation. Some shots offer very sharp images with almost no grain. Others look soft and noisy and still others are in between.
Image sharpness goes from excellent to sometimes mediocre, on average it's good. The noise and grain level is never high but grain is visible all the time.
Video artifacts are pretty much absent. Some of the grainy scenes look noise reduced and show some smearing effects in textures.
Compression is good.
This is a good looking DVD that offers on some shots close to reference quality for material of this age (such as some early shots in the night club), on others it's good average and some shots look mediocre. Overall it's very watchable and images look film-like. The DVD will please on any kind of display.
The supplements are a bit poor. There is not much material. Here some additional effort would have been worthwile.
