A la espera de que anuncien alguna película del gran Alfred Hitchcock en Blu-ray, por ahora habrá que conformarse con las eternas re-ediciones de sus películas, en donde la calidad de imagen mejora muy poquito pero los extras (documentales y demases) y el empaque suelen ser el atractivo principal.
Universal y MGM han re-editado 3 películas cada uno a saber:
La Ventana Indiscreta (1954), Vértigo (1958) y Psicosis (1960)
Rebecca (1940), Spellbound (1945) y Notorious (1946)
Hitchcock siempre fue un gran maestro del cine, hasta los títulos de sus películas son geniales, 1 ó 2 palabras son suficiente si son bien elegidos. ;-)
