It has remained, over 35 years, a very pleasing film that can indeed be appreciated by people of all ages. Fox issued The Sound of Music as a THX-certified disc. And although the digital quality of the picture is mostly good, it isn't without its faults. In fact, I'm a bit baffled as to why THX even put their stamp of approval on this picture. There are a few really notable problems with this image.
Colors are overall pretty accurate but tend to look muted and are very inconsistent.
The other big dilemma with the image is the use of way too much edge enhancement. I suspect that whoever transferred the film for video probably had laserdisc on their mind instead of DVD, so they applied too much edge enhancement to the picture. So you're not going to see a lot of blemishes on this picture. Scratches, hair, dust and other print defects are seldom to be found on the picture. But because the rest of the picture just doesn't look that great, I have to wonder what the hell Fox was thinking releasing the film like this.
