The dream sequence is one of Hitchcock's best, a surreal exploration into the mind of madness. Hitchcock used artist Salvador Dali to create the 20-minute sequence in the film, which is filled with abstract images. People rarely mention it when they recall their favorite Hitchcock films. Anchor Bay has done an excellent job of coming up with a negative that is virtually free of any wear and tear. There are a couple of lines and some minor flecking, but for the most part, the images are sharp.
Blacks are strong and impenetrable, while whites and grays are absolutely stunning.
Depth of field is amazingly deep, with nice attention to detail. No compression artifacts visible. Good Dolby Digital Mono Decent Dolby Digital Mono soundtrack gets the job done. Clean soundtrack allows for strong dialogue mix and virtually no hiss or distortion. Poor No closed captions or subtitles.
