Valley of the Dolls(1967)Straight from the best-selling pages of Jacqueline Susann's audacious novel comes the unforgettable tale of three glamorous women who will stop at nothing to get to the top. Oscar winners Patty Duke, Lee Grant and Susan Hayward team with Sharon Tate and Barbara Parkins for this spectacular, satisfying and well-before-its-time tale of hedonism and one-upmanship on the road to fame! When a small-town beauty arrives in New York, she becomes instant friends with a struggling singer, Neely, and an actress, Jennifer. Together these headstrong, career-driven gals embark on a roller coaster ride of fast-talking men, endless nights of partying, booze...and pills that they call "dolls." But as they careen down the path to superstardom, one of them may face more self-destructive behavior than she can handle in this riveting and acclaimed hit film! For more about Valley of the Dolls and the Valley of the Dolls Blu-ray release, see Valley of the Dolls Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on September 19, 2016 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.5 out of 5. Director: Mark Robson Writers: Jacqueline Susann, Helen Deutsch, Dorothy Kingsley, Harlan Ellison Starring: Barbara Parkins, Patty Duke, Sharon Tate, Paul Burke, Susan Hayward, Tony Scotti Producers: Mark Robson, David Weisbart » See full cast & crew Valley of the Dolls Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in an aspect ratio of 2.40:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Mark Robson's Valley of the Dolls arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Criterion. The following text appears inside the booklet provided with this Blu-ray release: "This new digital transfer was created in 2K resolution from a new 35mm interpositive made from the 35mm original camera negative at Illuminate at, Los Angeles. The original 3.0 surround soundtrack was remastered from the 35mm six-track magnetic print master that accompanied the 70mm release. Additional restoration was performed by the Criterion Collection using Pro Tools HF and iZotope RX." In terms of density and depth the Blu-ray release is vastly superior to the old R1 DVD release from Twentieth Century Fox. Not only the outdoor panoramic shots, but also the indoor footage looks dramatically stronger. During close-ups it also becomes painfully obvious that there are various nuances that are quite simply lost on the DVD release. Contrast and brightness levels are balanced well. The color scheme favors a slightly colder but in my opinion more accurate primaries. However, as it was the case with the presentation of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, my feeling is that saturation should be much better. (Beyond the Valley of the Dolls should have a much better pronounced lush and vibrant primaries). Grain is nicely exposed and resolved. There are no traces of problematic sharpening corrections. Image stability is excellent. Lastly, there are no distracting damage marks, debris, cuts, stains, warps, or torn frames to report). Valley of the Dolls Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: English DTS-HD Master Audio 3.0. Optional English SDH subtitles are provided for the main feature. When turned on, they appear inside the image frame. The quality of the lossless track is outstanding. The music sounds wonderfully rounded and rich, never creating any anomalies in terms of dynamic progression/balance. The dialog is always stable, clean, crisp, and very easy to follow. There are no signs of age-related anomalies either.
