Another competent and watchable, reasonably-priced, single-layered SD PAL transfer from Network out of the UK. Crime on the Hill is a short crime drama with some Pre-Code sexiness in the beginning. The video image may have a tinge of boosting but the overall visuals are very appealing even forgetting the film's age. Quite adept in-motion with few anomalies. Audio is fairly weak - as per the production quality of the period but dialogue is still audible with minor scattering. There are no subtitles on the region 2 disc. Extras include an image gallery and an original script PDF at the root of the single-layered SD disc. Fans of Pre-Code should be all over this, with its impressive fashion of the time and adult forwardness that would soon be smothered by the Hayes Code. I liked it enough to review and might even spin again one day! - Gary Tooze |
