Blu-ray Review: Tyrone Power Classic ‘Blood and Sand’ Makes HD Debut
Submitted by BrianTT on July 22, 2013 - 4:43pmCHICAGO – 1941’s “Blood and Sand” features Tyrone Power and Rita Hayworth at their charismatic peaks and the new Blu-ray HD transfer courtesy of Fox is a solid one for fans of this bullfighting melodrama. It’s far from a perfect film but Rouben Mamoulian’s saga of love, fame, and death works on its own terms and contains some notably strong cinematography, for which it won the Academy Award. A solid commentary track on the Blu-ray from a legendary cinematographer highlights the visual strengths of this 70-year-old classic.
