Some of the other films Francis served as cinematographer on include Dune, School Ties, The Straight Story, and The Elephant Man. Francis also directed many other films, including Son of Dracula, Trog, The Ghoul, and They Came From Beyond Space. While her performance might not be Oscar worthy, for the character and material, she does a wonderful turn here. While the image is a little soft due to age, the visuals look tremendous, much better than anyone would expect this film to look. The colors are vivid and bright, and flesh tones are natural, even the palest ones.
Contrast seems right on, with no visible detail loss and well defined shadows.
The print shows very little nicks and other wear signs, and the transfer is free from all but minor compression troubles. The original mono track is included for audio, and it does an adequate turn. As with any mono track, this one is quite limited, but the overall experience is quite good. The music has a decent sound to it, and the effects come across well, never getting lost in the mix. The dialogue is the focus here, and the vocals are clear and consistent, with no troubles to speak of.
