Comments:

Very strong image here from Fox. Contrast looks very good and not tinkered with. Sometimes the image appears to have some red in it, but otherwise a great transfer. Solid subtitles, tight lines, sharp. A restoration example is given as an extra. A 5.0 bump to the audio is given as an option as well as the original mono (bravo!). This is an exceptional film, and the DVD\, although light on extras, appears worthy.out of
