A HARD DAY´S NIGHT BACK IN THEATERS

A Hard Day´s Night- Blu-ray/DVD restored edition.
Next month Janus Films is bringing the classic to more than 90 theaters in USA. The summer screenings kick off July 4 and mark the movie's 50th anniversary.

Using the latest in digital restoration technology, the Criterion Collection was able to restore A Hard Day's Night from the original 35-millimeter camera negative, which, though incomplete, is in excellent condition. The missing material was taken from two original interpositives. The image was scanned in 4K resolution on a Scanity film scanner to retain the character of the film's original printing stock without any generational loss, and the raw data was carefully treated, using a variety of digital tools, to remove dirt, scratches, flicker and other damage. The final result was approved by director Richard Lester, and is in its original theatrical aspect ration of 1.75:1.
