Boccaccio '70(1962)
Four directors tell tales of Eros fit for a 1970s Decameron. Working-class lovers, Renzo and Luciana, marry but must hide it from her employer; plus, they need a room of their own. A billboard of Anita Ekberg provocatively selling milk gives a prudish crusader for public decency more than he can handle. The wife of a count whose escapades with call girls make the front page of the papers decides to work to prove her independence, but what is she qualified to do? A buxom carnival-booth manager who owes back taxes offers herself for one night in a lottery: a nerdy sacristan and a jealous cowboy make for a lovers' triangle. In each, women take charge, but not always happily.

In short, a hands-off presentation that hasn't been fully restored—you'll see occasional specks, flecks, hairs stuck in the gate, and other bits of debris—but one that hasn't been tampered with either. There's no digital noise reduction here, no edge enhancement, no boosting or tweaking of any kind. Sharpness is hindered somewhat by the non-anamorphic lenses and grainy film stock the directors used, but overall clarity is greatly improved, revealing a finer degree detail and texture throughout. While there are some slight color fluctuations in the image from time to time, these are mild and not in the least distracting. For the most part, color is satisfyingly rich, with good contrast and black levels that are balanced and consistent. And though the film is nearly three and a half hours long, it sits comfortably on a dual-layer 50 GB disc, with no overt signs of compression. Sure, the film could certainly look better with a full, frame-by-frame restoration, but the sad fact is that not every film can get that kind of premiere treatment. All things considered, though, Boccaccio '70 looks wonderful on Blu-ray, and looks dramatically better here than it did in prior DVD releases. Boccaccio '70 Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe film's Italian DTS-HD Master Audio mono track is fairly typical for an Italian movie from the early 1960s. The mix is slightly tinny and dynamically flat, but the swingy jazz/pop music sounds decent and dialogue, if not always clean, is at least balanced volume-wise and comprehensible. Some of the vocal dubbing is a bit muddy, but never to the point of distraction. Hisses, pops, and crackles are kept to a minimum and, really, that's about all there is to say here. It is what it is. The disc includes optional English subtitles—turned on by default—which appear in easy-to-read white lettering. Blu-ray bundles with Boccaccio '70 (1 bundle)
