3D Rating: NA
The film’s 1.37:1 theatrical aspect ratio is faithfully rendered in 1080p resolution using the AVC codec. The Technicolor once again is the star of the transfer as the hues are gloriously solid and true. The image is marvelous to behold with wonderful contrast and sharpness that reveals nice details in facial features and the period clothes. Any age-related problems with dirt, scratches, and color fluctuations are long gone. The movie has been divided into 40 chapters.
The DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mono sound mix combines the well-recorded dialogue, the music and lyrics, and the sound effects into an appealing whole that’s a joy to hear. There are no problems with anomalies like hiss, crackle, flutter, and pops.
