The elements used by Warner Brothers to strike their anamorphic master were fairly clean. We did note tiny, white and black pockmarks and an occasional vertical scratch and scar. We re giving it a low, to mid four-globe rating. This is an unremarkable, but functional Dolby Digital mono recording. As you would guess, sound effects galloping horses and gunshots, are rendered thin and a bit hollow by the narrowed dynamic range, but the track is distortion free and never grating on the ears.
Dialogue is always intelligible, even when down to a near whisper.
Dmitri Tiomkin s score sounds marvelous to me, even though it s a bit anorexic in range, and Dino sounds great. There are some quieter passages in the feature during which background hiss can be heard, but we noted no annoying audio pops or drop outs. There s little here to take away from your viewing and listening pleasure. Thank you in advance for your support . Copyright 1998-2001 by Jeff McNeal Productions.
