Bruce Dern, who Hitchcock had used in Marnie, is very funny as George. Dern, usually stuck in psychotic roles, finds a slap dash comic flare for Lumley. William Devane is effective as Eddie Adamson, but the character doesn't give him much with which to work. Karen Black wears her wigs to good effect, but she is merely set dressing. There are a number of dark scenes in Family Plot that don't look so great.
Contrast ratio is slightly compressed and blacks lack luster.
It's reasonably sharp with only a slight edginess in some peak transitions. The color saturation is adequate but lacks brilliance. Once again, the Dolby Digital 2 channel sound is clean without distortion. Their recollections are quite fresh and entertaining. Composer John Williams adds his view of working with Hitchcock and art director Henry Bumstead recalls hunting for set locations.
