The Third Man (Criterion Blu-ray)
This title in particular has been the subject of a good deal of controversy on Elsewhere (among other sites), message boards, and email lists across the web. No one seems to talk about much aside from the "Grain Issue." Since the grain (or overabundance thereof) is the obvious elephant in the room, I'm going to address it before getting on to the additional content on display here, of which there is much to see and thoroughly enjoy.

As he was just starting the WIP gig in August '03, Gill told the Hollywood Reporter's Stephen Galloway, "The biggest pitfall is if you choose and market the wrong movies -- then you're dead. The second danger would be to find yourself working for people who are not fully committed, [but] I am not worried about that. They are willing to give this (division) that fullness of time -- three or four years, to be sure, and maybe more. I know I have got three years (contractually) to make it work -- and I intend to do it in a third of that time."
