## Description

Spain released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Spanish ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Black & White, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: The lively but somehow slightly distasteful The Americanization of Emily stars James Garner as a WWII naval officer who happens to be a craven coward. While his comrades sail off to their deaths, Garner makes himself scarce, generally hiding out in the London flat of his lothario navy buddy James Coburn. Garner falls in love with virtuous war widow Julie Andrews (the 'Emily' of the title), but she can't abide his yellow streak. Meanwhile, crack-brained admiral Melvyn Douglas decides that he needs a hero--the first man to die on Omaha Beach during the D-Day Invasion. Coburn is at first elected for this sacrifice, but it is the quivering Garner who ends up hitting the beach. He survives to become a hero in spite of himself, winning Andrews in the process. Paddy Chayefsky's script, based on the novel by William Bradford Huie, attempts to extract humor out of the horrors of war by using broad, vulgar comedy instead of the light satirical touch that would seem to be called for. Americanization of Emily was Julie Andrews' second film; it should have led to a steady stream of adult-oriented roles, but the box-office clout of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music consigned her to 'wholesome family entertainment'.

    Version Comparison For A 5 Star Film
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2018*

As usual, I am not reviewing for plot and content, as most of you already know whether this is a film you would enjoy. This is just my standard comparison, for those considering a purchase.For the record, I have owned nearly all versions of this magnificent romance / war-comedy. I will not bore you with the details of the VHS and two DVDs owned previously, except to say that, if you are looking for the standard SD presentation, like my father who truly can't see well enough for HD to make any difference, then the best DVD version is ASIN  B00OIKJHRA which is the Warner Archive release from 2014 or, if you want to view via streaming, the digital copy in SD is the same version, looking ever so slightly less good than that DVD. I do recommend for any SD consumer, in this case, that DVD, as it is the best SD source.  Now, on to the HD....If you are like me and want the best presentation possible, for both picture and sound, then you are going HD on everything you can and have been for about a decade. I can't blame you. I've done the same thing. When it comes to this classic, you might think that, because it is in black & white, the high-definition issue wouldn't matter as much. Well, on some, that is true, not due to any problem with transferring absent complex color schemes but, sadly, due to the condition of the original celluloid film stock for so many of our beloved classics. However, when it comes to film storage, Warner actually took the time to store correctly, back in the day, and, as a result, had a wonderful master from which to source this restoration. They took the time to restore The Americanization of Emily, fully, back in 2014, from that master recording. They then took their newly sourced master and used it to produce a Blu-ray and Digital HD version, as well as the SD versions mentioned previously.The result, as to the Blu-ray, is a picture almost without equal, in the B & W world. Warner's restoration artists hand removed dirt and debris, rather than overusing a digital program that could accidentally remove fine detail and film grain in the process, and the result is a clean and crisp image with fine detail in faces and backgrounds, without the loss of grain that makes a film look like a film. They encoded the disc at around 30 mbps, which means they put more data on that disc than is typical for a B & W film, actually as much as you usually see with a high quality colorized film. As a result, the image is very clear and the gray-scale color scheme has far more variation in tone and shading, making it a stunning picture, even for a film in good old black & white.The audio is wonderful, with very clear dialogue, most particularly in the outdoor tea-time scene, where James Garner delivers his famous "I'm a coward" speech, which I had never fully heard before the new transfer premiered on TCM, before it was put out on disc for purchase. It sounded, in viewing it years ago, quite soft and a bit muddled. In the Blu-ray version, it is clear and the strength of his voice comes through in a way it previously had not.As to special features, the Blu-ray has a partial audio commentary from the aging Director, a short featurette filmed at the time, concerning the setting up for the big Normandy scene, and a trailer.When it comes to the Digital HD version, it is the same transfer from the Blu-ray, simply presented at a slightly lower bitrate, which, for anyone who doesn't know, translates into a slight loss of visual clarity. When dealing with HD, many people can't tell the difference. Having viewed both, I can, but, it is only a slight difference. So, if you opt for a Digital HD copy, you are losing a tiny bit of that fine detail but, really, nothing else in quality, however, the Digital version does not have those few special features. Honestly, I could have done without that commentary and been just fine.I hope this helps you in finding the best version to suit your particular needs and that you enjoy the film as much as you did the first time. If this will be your first time, I am jealous.

This is the best of Paddy Chayefsky; this is the worst of Paddy Chayefsky. The good stuff is in the first  65 minutes, the bad stuff is the rest of the rocky way. Easy to spot what should have been edited and cut  -yes, Keenan Wynn, I’m looking at you - but wasn't.  Julie Andrews and James Garner survive until the plot does them in. But Annapolis grad James Coburn doesn’t miss a beat, making you wonder why Hollywood producers of the best movies rarely took advantage of this Stella Adler trained actor.NOTES: In 1943 Paddy was drafted and served in combat during WW2Fun time: search- Chayefsky/redgrave..
