Verdict
The video is a joy to watch and the audio can be described as solid. However, Explosive Media cannot compete with the digital releases of Warner or Paramount.
Explosive Media
The ultimate site about the king of the analogue age
On February 8, 2018 Koch Media and Explosive Media released a hd version of "Ein Sommer In Florida", originally issued as "Follow That Dream". The companies joined forces with the Elvis Presley Gesellschaft, a German fanclub, which provided a well designed and informative booklet.
While Warner and Paramount scanned the original negatives with 4k equipment, I seriously doubt that Explosive Media did the same. The picture simply is not as sharp and bright and there are bits and pieces of dust and grain every now and then. But even though this product cannot compete with the restaurations made by Warner and Paramount, it isn't bad at all. The picture is sharp and the colors are rich and natural. For a movie of that age "Follow That Dream" certainly looks very good.
The soundtrack is delivered in DTS Mono 2.0. The mix is solid, there is no hiss or anything else that might reveal the age of the movie. This is a German release, but of course it also includes the original audio.
Here we get the original trailer.
