John Payne is endearing as the white knight who rides into their lives. The black and white images are incredibly sharp and vivid. I was expecting lots of scratches and fading, but the original negative looks marvelous. The images have a creamy texture that betrays their age. The flesh tones look smooth and attractive, while blacks and whites are at their best behavior.
Depth of field is amazing, while attention to detail is specific.
During the overhead shots of the parade you can actually count heads. The Dolby Digital Mono soundtrack is clean and free of any audible hiss or distortion. Strong dialogue mix makes it easy to hear each and every word of wisdom. Good Closed captions in English for the hard of hearing, subtitles in Spanish. Weak Handsome main and scene access menus.
