The Technicolor images are stunning in this Fox Video presentation. Aside from some minor sporadic color shifting, the palette is consistently rich and accurate. The source material for The Captain from Castile is excellent and there is little loss in translation to laser. Detail is very revealing. Contrast levels are excellent.
Color is lively day or night.
The monaural sound is very clean and while the range of Newman's score doesn't achieve levels equivalent to modern recordings, few screen composers will ever deliver a more rousing action score.
