| Comments: |
Another solid DVD from
MGM! Anamorphic, Vibrant colors, adequate black levels. The original
mono sound is acceptable. I saw some pulsing images in the middle of the
film, but nothing untoward. There are no real extras unless you include
a non-anamorphic trailer which ends with a huge spoiler for the film.
Interesting film with adept performance from Wagner. Nice to see the
2.25 aspect ratio treated well.
