Flesh tones usually run towards the pale side, however the color red is usually well saturated- go figure. Blacks are fairly accurate, but don t go looking for much by way of shadow detail. Digital compression artifacts did not affect the image in any significant way. The Dolby Digital 2.0 channel soundtrack decodes to standard surround and is somewhat better than the image. Sound effects are very subtle and not terribly directional.
Dialogue is clean enough to understand all the jokes.
French and Spanish language soundtracks are also encoded onto the DVD, as are French and Spanish subtitles. The interactive menus would not engage on a first-generation Toshiba DVD player, although I could watch the movie by hitting the play button. Trying the DVD in a second-generation Pioneer player, the menus did come up, although they proved to be a rather basic affair. Through the menus, one can access the standard scene selection and set up features, as well as a theatrical trailer. After seeing some of the phenomenal looking DVDs that MGM has released in the past, I know they can do better.
