My eyes and ears in Japan Philip
McLean recently notified me of these superb looking Eastwood Universal Blu-rays
which were released in Japan in June. Released under the translated name of Universal
memories of the reprinted edition, the first three titles include Play Misty
for me (Fear of melody), Coogan's Bluff and The Eiger Sanction. Looking at them
on Amazon (Japan), I don’t believe the bonus extras differ to any degree;
however, the packaging is quite another thing.
NBC Universal Entertainment Japan
has come under a certain amount of criticism after their version of the
Eastwood Universal Blu-ray collection fell short by two films (Breezy and The
Beguiled). There appears to be no reason why these two titles were omitted, but
naturally Japanese consumers felt a little cheated having to contend with a 6
film collection as opposed to an 8 film collection.
Now, with the release of these
three singular titles (which already appear in the box set), Universal have
practically invited further criticism for providing a far better, individual
packaging effort. Instead, these individual releases appear with a nicely
designed slip case and inner case sleeve, both of which contain the original
Japanese poster art of the time. In addition to this, Universal has also
produced a reproduction booklet (8 pages) to tie in with the original Japanese
TV debut transmission date – and very nice they appear to look too…
According to Amazon Japan, it
also looks as if they come at a cost, with each of them carrying a price of ¥
3,373 (£17.44). A princely sum indeed - I also understand (but please check for
yourself) that these are also region free.
I have provided a translated
version of each of the title descriptions below and just for the record.
Sometimes the translation can also be a little confusing, so please bare that
in mind.
