Hurley is a beautiful and charming actress, whose talent lies not in her looks, but winning screen presence. Color and detail are excellent on the pan and scan transfer. The transfer does add some information to the sides of the image, which is absent from the pan and scan transfer. Otherwise, this transfer does seem to contain all the essentials. The image is sharp and quite well defined.
Colors render beautifully with richly saturated hues.
Digital compression artifacts were never bothersome on either Letterbox or pan and scan presentations. The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack has a pleasing mix, with some nice directional effects, although the music seems to garner the largest benefits. Other soundtrack options include a matrixed Dolby Surround soundtrack, plus a French language track. Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish. The interactive menus are the best I've seen so far.
