In February, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will bring All Quiet on the Western Front to Blu-ray. Based on the classic novel by Erich Maria Remarque, director Lewis Milestone's drama follows a young German soldier (Lew Ayres, Damien: Omen II) through the horrors of World War I.

One of the most acclaimed anti-war sagas ever made, All Quiet on the Western Front won two Academy Awards - Best Picture and Best Director.

Newly restored from the original film negative, Universal's Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack presents the film in a 1.33:1 aspect ratio with 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio. The disc also contains a number of bonus features, such as:
Introduction by Turner Classic Movies host and film historian Robert Osborne
Two 100 Years of Universal featurettes:
- Restoring the Classics
- Academy Award Winners
The silent version of All Quiet on the Western Front

Good, haven't bought this yet so i'll get the bluray instead.

surprised they're not releasing the newly restored "silent version" that aired recently on TCM as a bonus, which is basically the same movie just without the talking and title cards where the dialogue would be.

I hope this is the beginning of Universal turning around their catalog output and doing it right.
