Localized foreign versions of films are part of cinema history too but they have been disappearing since the introduction of the DVD. Aside from their historical value, transfers made in European countries from their own 35mm copies are rarely re-touched and restored and often give us a glimpse on how the film originally looked and in some cases localized foreign credits can even be a key element for creating textless versions in more advanced preservation projects that we do here.
Following the footsteps of fellow member Stamper, here's a list of films published or released in high definition with Italian localized credits.
