| Comments | The source
is the complete 100-minute version in its original 2.55:1 cinemascope OAR.
While lacking detail and sharpness, and with occasional halos, this is
quiet a nice transfer for a DVD-5. Sound is the original mono, from the optical print. Dialogue is clear and there is no noise. |
