The 2021 Blu-ray ports over significant legacy extras from earlier MGM and Kino releases: Altman and Zsigmond used a process called “flashing”

In an era of 4K UHD, why buy a 1080p Blu-ray? For The Long Goodbye , the answer lies in the film’s texture. Altman and Zsigmond used a process called “flashing” (pre-exposing the negative to light) to reduce contrast. On lower-bitrate streams (Netflix, Amazon), this turns to digital noise. On a 1080p Blu-ray with a high bitrate, that “flashed” look becomes a warm, organic blanket. You don’t need 4K because the film was never meant to look sharp; it was meant to look like a memory fading in the sun.
