Donald Sutherland practically steals the movie as Oddball, the closest thing to a hippie that one is likely to find in a W.W.II movie. Look for Carroll O'Connor as the clueless, but gung-ho General Colt, who also gets his share of laughs. The image is wonderfully sharp and delivers a superb level of detail. Colors are quite vivid and the flesh tones always look appealing. Even the most intense hues are reproduced with no sign chromatic distortion.
Blacks are very accurate and the image delivers surprisingly excellent level of shadow detail.
The film element used to transfer this 1970 production is in very good shape, and rarely displays any signs of age. There are moments when film grain is noticeable during the movie, although it never becomes bothersome. Digital compression artifacts are well disguised by solid authoring that takes advantage of dual layer technology. Lalo Schifrin s musical score reaps the largest benefits from the re-mix, although the other sound elements are also well served. Directional sound effects do not have the sweep that one associates with brand new movies, but the battle scenes do produce some fine moments.
