LATEST ADDITIONS

One of Hitchcock's middling works (even he once joked that he could have 'phoned it in'), Dial M for Murder stars Ray Milland as Tony Wendice, a former tennis professional plotting to kill his adulterous wife Margot (Grace Kelly) and grab the £90,000 he'll be left in her will. Sadly - for Ray, if not his wife - his elaborate plan doesn't run smoothly, but will Margot and her lover ever discover the truth about the attempt on her life?

This new restoration of the celebrated Ealing comedy is almost as dazzling as the titular garment itself. Okay, so there's some minor print damage here and there, as well as occasional shimmering contrast levels, but overall it's a very commendable image that restores the movie to its original visual glory while maintaining a natural, film-like appearance. Just as impressive is the LPCM dual-mono soundtrack, which is extremely clear and well balanced. The disc also includes a featurette, stills gallery, restoration comparison and trailer.

It may lack the scope of Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away, but My Neighbour Totoro is every bit their equal in terms of pure storytelling and unbridled imagination – it remains one of the most iconic and affecting films in the Studio Ghibli pantheon. Unlike some previous releases in the range, …Totoro hasn't had all of its native grain filtered out, resulting in a much more authentic look for this hi-def incarnation. Audio comes in LPCM stereo Japanese or English options, while extras include a picture-in-picture storyboard mode, numerous short interviews with the Japanese filmmakers and the US voice cast, plus a selection of trailers.

You really have to wonder what the thinking was behind this particular remake. It certainly wasn't to get back to the basics of the original Philip K Dick short story that both are based on.
