There are a couple of lines and some minor flecking, but for the most part, the images are sharp. Blacks are strong and impenetrable, while whites and grays are absolutely stunning. Depth of field is amazingly deep, with nice attention to detail. No compression artifacts visible. Good Dolby Digital Mono Decent Dolby Digital Mono soundtrack gets the job done.
Clean soundtrack allows for strong dialogue mix and virtually no hiss or distortion.
Poor No closed captions or subtitles. Poor Aside from the main and scene access menu, there isn't much here. The film alone is a keeper. The treatment it gets on DVD pushes it home. The best Hitchcock characters are those who are forced to face their innermost fears in order to reach the light at the end of the tunnel.
