| Comments: |
Another competent, progressive single-layered transfer from Fox. Detail and contrast are acceptable - a few sky scenes with artifacts. Audio was clear and consistent and there are optional subtitles. Bottom line is that the price gives good value for the DVD production.
Supplements include an alternate ending (found in the vaults) running almost 8 minutes - interesting to see although I prefer the original - and a Stills Gallery. I enjoyed the charismatic performances - always intrigued by Rennie, Hiller and Hunter. It is great to obtain these older gems on DVD now for a film I will probably revisit one day. |
