I watched Hot Snow last night and found it hard to believe it was film made from 405-line videotape. I have a huge CRT telly (probably one of the biggest they made before CRTs were abandoned) and Hot Snow looked as sharp as anything, I could see every pore on the actors' faces. Amazing stuff. It didn't look this good in 1961, that's for sure.Timeless A-Peel wrote: Agreed. The restoration has made a world of difference. I can actually see and hear what's going on, compared to the A&E releases where I had to crank up the volume and try to spot Steed and Cathy in the gloom.
