This is good news since the black and white (non tinted version) that has been available on DVD -R was very dark, grainy, with a lot of scratches in parts. This version appeared to be from a 16 mm print that had been projected a few times over the years. I included a snip tool of the version that they are upgrading to show how dark the film was at different intervals.
From left to right: Mark Hamilton, Clyde Cook, and George Bancroft.
Can hardly tell who they are in this frame.

Grapevine mentions that the score for this Blu-ray was done by Jack Hardy and if you previously purchased the DVD from them, there may be a discount on getting the new Blu -ray version.
