The Blu-ray of Carrie is compared to this DVD HERE

Carrie is the story of a woman whose dreams of adventure in the big city are squashed after discovering a bleak life of grueling and poorly-paid factory work. That is, until a traveling salesman named Drouet steps into her life and changes her outlook. Breaking all the rules of morality at the time, Carrie moves in with him and at first she's content, but when Drouet introduces her to the wealthy and married Hurstwood, who manages a restaurant, Carrie instantly sizes up the difference between the two men and discovers she's falling for him. William Wyler's classic adaptation of Theodore Dreiser's "Sister Carrie" was nominated for two Oscars. Full unedited version of the film featuring the previously removed "flophouse" scene which was omitted for the original release in the US theatres. Starring Laurence Olivier, Jennifer Jones, Miriam Hopkins, and Eddie Albert. |

Not much to say that the images
can't tell you. Great detail, strong black levels, excellent contrast,
smidgeon of damage... but zero extras. Original audio and removable
subtitles (well appointed). Being a huge Wyler and Jen Jones fan, I'd
have bought this no matter what, but I think its about time that
Paramount (innovator of the double-lock keep case) embraced the idea of
some commentaries or extra features. This doesn't even have a trailer
for gosh sakes.... but we do appreciate the stellar image.
