Great addition to my classic movie collection. Great story with great actors.

The Robe [Blu-ray ] I have praise and questions about the restoration of this classic movie, which is still far from being ideal, at least to my eyes when compared with other restorations of "Sword and Sandal" epics from the `fifties. The transfer from what apparently was the original Cinemascope negative is definitely sharp, without scratches, or other physical imperfections. Also, as others have indicated, the transfer also reveals the imperfections of the anamorphic lenses used in the film's production. It is brighter than the print used to make the earlier DVD release. The sound is definitely an improvement over the DVD release and is excellent as one of the earliest examples of a stereophonic soundtrack. But what has me wondering is the condition of the color balances in the original Cinemascope negative used for the restoration. Martin Scorsese, in his valuable and informative introduction, tells us that color correction was utilized in the BD transfer. I'm sure that Fox's transfer technicians did all that they technically could within the limitations of their restoration software on the originals, but throughout the film, there is an orange-yellow cast, particularly in shadows that definitely is not normal compared to other films. Also, the contrast in shadows could have been increased. For example of this, look at the scene when Demetrius finally escapes from Marcellus Gallio to search for, and attempt to save Jesus from execution. Compared to other "Sword and Sandal" epic releases from that period, the color, especially on flesh tones, appears to be a bit on the washed-out side. Color saturation in the restoration also could have been slightly increased for most scenes. However, there are a few scenes that excel where the restoration technicians' efforts were successful, one particularly when Marcellus Gallio finally locates Demetrius and tries to burn the robe. Was the original Cinemascope negative stored in less-than-optimal archival storage over the years? I think this is the question that must be pondered among classic film buffs about this restoration. If the restoration technicians did all that they could do, then this may be the best that we will be able to ever see this classic, unless another restoration is done at a future time from the original negative with improved color correction software. Imperfections in anamorphic lenses aside, the color in the restoration of "The Robe" pales in comparison to the wonderful restoration done to Time-Warner's "Quo Vadis" of two years earlier.
