Video Notes:

Sourced from a 4K scan of the 35mm Fine Grain. Even with its unfortunate and noticeable print damage, tears, and other issues, still easily beats any prior disc release, though the Imprint BD (same master as Kino, but inferior encode) included in their Essential Film Noir Collection Vol. 3 set does include more extras. https://youtu.be/-Wrsn6-XJCo

Nothing Sacred (1937)

Small role · Director: William A. Wellman

Best English-Friendly & Video:

2018 Kino Lorber Remastered Blu-ray

Sources: DVDBeaver (opens in a new tab)

Video Notes:

New 2k scan with very different color http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film3/blu-ray_reviews55/nothing_sacred_blu-ray.htm but overall much better compared to the older Kino Lorber Blu-ray
