Freed from the shackles of singing, she does succeed in playing the role of a more common person, I suppose, and she definitely gives the film a lot of admirable gusto. Streisand just can't quite come off as anything less than a total movie star. Probably not, and it surely ranks as one of the lesser films in Streisand's canon. Not a bad flick, but not a great one, either. For a film that's nearly 30 years old, I was taken aback at how this terrific transfer.
Colors are warm and crisply defined, and fleshtones appear natural.
Blemishes and artifacts, which I anticipated, were slight at best. Film grain is very fine and consistent throughout, aside from a few distracting shots. Blacks were very deep yet shadow detail can wanes. I noticed no edge enhancement or pixel break up. This is a surprisingly clean, rather sharp transfer that's probably never looked better since in the theater, and is yet another impressive remaster from Columbia.
