Movie Reviews of D.O.A. (1950) DVD [Remastered Edition]

Movie Review: Great Flick, Terrible transfer
Summary: 4 Stars

I've read some reviews of the other edition of this film and they also say that the quality is poor, so it's probably a problem with the available stock of this film for a transfer. There is no way that this "remastered" edition is any better, I couldn't imagine the quality being much worse for a film from 1950. And I've seen my share of noirs from the 40s, so I don't mean in comparison to modern DVDs. But, that being said, I don't regret my purchase because I do love this film that much. It pains me to not give it 5 stars.

Summary of D.O.A. (1950) DVD [Remastered Edition]

D.O.A. reflects the photographic roots of director Rudolph Mate. He compiled an impressive resume as a cinematographer in Hollywood from 1935 until turning to directing in 1947. Mate and director of photography Ernest Lazlo captured the lighting, locations, and atmosphere of brooding darkness expertly. While Dimitri Tiomkin was one of Hollywood's most renowned film composers who linked up with pantheon directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, and Frank Capra to create some of the most memorable film scores in movie history. Winner of four Oscars and nominated for many others, Tiomkin's D.O.A. score is integral to the melancholy mood of the film. Edmund O'Brien was a veteran of many film noirs (Act of Murder, 711 Ocean Drive, The Hitchhiker, among others) and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1954 for his portrayal of a frenetic press agent in The Barefoot Contessa.
