Blast of Silence(1961)A hired killer from Cleveland has a job to do on a second-string mob boss in New York. But a special girl from his past, and a fat gun dealer with pet rats, each gets in his way. For more about Blast of Silence and the Blast of Silence Blu-ray release, see Blast of Silence Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on November 6, 2023 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5. Director: Allen Baron Writers: Waldo Salt, Allen Baron Starring: Allen Baron, Molly McCarthy, Larry Tucker, Peter Clune, Danny Meehan, Howard Mann Narrator: Lionel Stander Producer: Merrill S. Brody » See full cast & crew Blast of Silence Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in aspect ratios of 1.85:1 and 1.37:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Blast of Silence arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. Blast of Silence has been newly restored in 4K. I chose to view the entire film in 1.85:1 and then only sampled a few areas of the 1.37:1 presentation. On my system, the entire film looked absolutely incredible. I have Criterion's DVD release of the film from 2008 and did not even feel the need to pull it out and do direct comparisons. The improvements in delineation, clarity, and especially depth are so dramatic that any sort of comparison would have been a complete waste of time. Density levels are very impressive as well. This is important to underscore because certain areas of the film reveal native fluctuations that always looked a bit weak on the DVD release. They have a very convincing organic appearance now. (See an example here). The grayscale is excellent. Darker areas with plenty of black and gray nuances are exceptionally well handled. There are no traces of problematic digital corrections. Image stability is excellent. The entire film looks immaculate, too. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free player in order to access its content). Blast of Silence Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: English LPCM 1.0. Optional English SDH subtitles are provided for the main feature. The lossless track is excellent. The narration and all exchanges are very clear, sharp, and stable. There are no traces of any age-related anomalies, in the upper register or anywhere else. Because of the at times unusually intense soundtrack, dynamic contrasts can be very good, but that there are plenty of organic sounds and noises as well.
