James Coburn, as a taciturn Texan, and George Kennedy, as a hit man with an iron claw instead of a hand, couldn't be any funnier. And then there's young Walter Matthau, as a CIA agent with a marked preference for liverwurst sandwiches. Grant and Hepburn, on screen together here for the only time, make the perfect couple. Criterion has done a fine job of restoring the film. The print is very crisp and sharp, with good background definition and detail.
Blacks are solid.
The vibrant colors almost reach out of the picture. Every smile of Audrey Hepburn shines off the screen. I noticed only a few artifacts and nothing really to complain about. The higher resolution would have elevated this already very good transfer into an even more stellar looking disc. On the audio side, the Dolby Digital mono soundtrack sounds a bit dated, but there is no audible background noise and the dialogue is well presented.
