I took a chance and ordered the first ever blu-ray pressing of Murder She Wrote from France called Arabesque. Season 1 only. First of all congratulations to Elephant films for bringing this classic show to HD and more importantly for native English speakers like me in the UK and North America, the episodes have NO FORCED SUBTITLES. You can enjoy the episodes in either their original English or French language soundtrack with or without French Subtitles. The picture and sound is top notch. The episodes are French prints in that they are all called Arabesque instead of Murder She Wrote and obviously Credits and Titles are in French. But that's not important, you can enjoy the episodes in their original Language. The packaging is superb and the 4 discs are well placed with a lovely slipcase for the set to go in.
According to my player the tracks are English stereo and French Stereo. You also get a lovely 24 page booklet
Make no mistake these HD episodes are a serious step up from the dire (at least in the UK) DVD's that were available. Considering the USA fans will have to content with Mill Creek and the UK with Fabulous films all I can say is thank God for Elephant Films. One very English friendly company.
So all I can say is bring on season 2.
