The Colossus of New York(1958)
Jeremy Spensser, genius humanitarian, is killed in an accident just after winning the Nobel Peace Prize. His father William, a brilliant brain surgeon, works on the body in secret before burial; later revealing to his other son Henry that he has the brain on life support and hopes to encase it in a robot body! The resulting being is large, strong, and develops many strange powers. Initially it has Jeremy's gentle personality but this, too, begins to change, and a year later it decides to end its long seclusion... Unusual piano music score.

It's a bit of a head scratcher why this 1958 Paramount catalog release looks so much sharper and better defined than The Space Children does, but that is certainly the case. Unlike The Space Children, contrast in The Colossus of New York is quite strong and consistent, and the film benefits from some deep black levels, appealing and variegated gray scale and bright whites. The image is generally very clear and fine object detail is quite pleasing (to the point where, for example, the final shot of the Colossus reveals the human's eyes inside the costume's mask). Grain is natural looking, though as should be expected there's added grain and softness in some of the film's opticals. The Colossus of New York Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Colossus of New York features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio Mono mix that serves this film rather well, especially with regard to the unusual piano score by Van Cleave (there was evidently a musician's strike at the time, necessitating this stripped down approach to underscoring, though note that the party scene offers a source cue featuring strings). Dialogue is cleanly and clearly presented and the film's cool, static filled sound effects sound really excellent in this presentation. Fidelity is excellent throughout the film and dynamic range is decently wide if never really overwhelming. There is no damage to report on this track.
