Stockard Channing is Miriam, an "ugly duckling" who is dumped on by everyone. After her heart is broken by a callous campus jock, Miriam tearfully speeds off in her car and is involved in a serious accident. Plastic surgery is required, and when Miriam emerges from behind the bandages, she is ravishingly beautiful. It's payback time when she uses her new attractiveness to exact revenge on all those who wronged her. Edward Asner plays the police inspector who's hot on the trail of the femme fatale. A dark comedy written by Joan Rivers, THE GIRL MOST LIKELY TO... will leave you in stitches!

The beautiful girl who was kidnapped by an ugly body
Presented in a aspect ratio of 1.34:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Lee Philips' The Girl Most Likely To . . . arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Kino Lorber.
The release is sourced from a gorgeous recent 2K remaster. It makes the film look practically brand new, and I like it a lot. There are a couple of areas -- mostly during indoor footage -- where perhaps a few nuances could be slightly better defined, but the overall quality of the visuals is so strong and so consistent that I just could not be happier with the way this film has transitioned to Blu-ray. There are no traces of compromising digital work. The color scheme is convincing as well. The primaries are solid, lush, and very healthy, and there are lovely supporting nuances. Image stability is excellent. Finally, there are no large debris, cuts, damage marks, stains, warped or torn frames to report. My score is 4.75/5.00. (Note: This is a Region-A "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-A or Region-Free player in order to access its content).
There is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0. Optional English SDH subtitles are provided for the main feature.
The lossless track is outstanding. The narration and the dialog are crystal clear and stable. Balance is terrific as well.
Dynamic intensity is also as good as I expected it to be for a TV project from the early '70s. Lastly, there are no transfer-specific anomalies to report.
There is something very, very wrong with the fact that Stockard Channing's performance in Lee Philips' The Girl Most Likely to... remained unnoticed by the many organizations in America that each year recognize quality acting. She literally plays two entirely different characters in this film and is absolutely sensational. (Keep in mind that Miriam Knight was also her very first major role). The film is dark and still very funny, and has a lovely retro vibe that now makes it look even more stylish than I believe it was intended to be. Kino Lorber's Blu-ray release is sourced from a great recent 2K remaster of the film, and features a good exclussive new audio commentary by authors Amanda Reyes and Kier-La Janisse. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
