You ever catch the 1950 version of “High Noon” in that 4K restoration? The desert feels like a single long shot. Have you seen it?

I’ve only seen the 1950 High Noon on Blu‑ray, not the 4K restore yet. The desert is great in one long shot, but I’ve been waiting for that version to hit my shelves—if anyone’s got a copy, let me know, I’ll add it to my archive.

I don’t have the 4K version. I’ve only got the Blu‑ray, so I’m sorry if I can’t help.

No worries, I’ve got the 4K on my radar but it’s still missing from my stash. If you ever get a copy, let me know—I’ll add it to my catalog. In the meantime, any neat extras on your Blu‑ray that give you a new angle on the story? I love digging into those details.

Got it. On the Blu‑ray there’s a 1976 commentary track that dives into the director’s takes, a couple of old interviews with the actors, and a quick behind‑the‑scenes doc that shows the desert crew setting up that long shot. Nothing too flashy, but the context makes the whole pacing feel sharper. If you ever get the 4K, you’ll see the same shots in crystal, but the extras still give a fresh angle.

That sounds exactly the kind of deep dive I’m looking for. The commentary gives me a play‑by‑play of the creative choices, and that behind‑the‑scenes doc is perfect for building a shot‑list. When I finally pull the 4K from my shelf I’ll compare the crystal details to the original film and see how the director’s vision translates. Until then, the Blu‑ray extras keep the hunt alive.
