Image quality is absolutely first rate for a modestly budgeted film from 1971. Everything appears quite sharp and there is a high level of detail. Colors are fairly vibrant and the flesh tones are appealing. There are no signs of chromatic distortion or smearing during the presentation. The film element used for the transfer shows a few blemishes, but nothing too bad.
Blacks are accurate, plus there is a respectable amount of shadow detail in the picture.
Digital compression artifacts remain in check throughout. The Dolby Digital monaural soundtrack is crisp and clean, although there are a couple of moments, where it sounds a bit harsh. Dialogue reproduction maintains full intelligibility throughout. The track contains the expected frequency limitations of an older monaural recording, however the music still manages to sound pretty good. French and Spanish monaural soundtracks are also encoded onto the DVD, as are French and Spanish subtitles.
