Like many classics, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers fell into the dreaded Public Domain many moons ago, and we've only ever been able to see the film in washed-out, worn-out transfers. The folks at Film Chest and HD Cinema Classics have once again cleaned up a forgotten favorite (no, that's not an oxymoron) and given it a Digital Noise Reduction makeover that will no doubt infuriate anyone looking for full restoration. This one is basically a 35mm print that has been de-scratchified, but until something better comes along, this'll do, kids. Special features include an audio commentary by William Hare as well as the usual Film Chest fare, a newly-made trailer and a before-and-after restoration demo.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
