Some of the interior scenes appear more muddied than the outdoor scenes, but the visual problems with the interior scenes are minor. The disc is free of compression errors as well, another knock out transfer from Universal. While this isn't the movie you'd associate audio prowess with, the disc's Dolby Digital 4.1 track makes the film's audio come to life. The musical score, which won an Oscar, is outstanding here, using the surrounds very well. The main focus of the audio however, is dialogue, which the disc replicates without a hitch.
Every word is crisp and clear, no troubles at all.
Extras Universal issued this disc as an installment in their Collector's Edition series, and it deserves the moniker. You get Universal's usual talent files, production notes, theatrical trailer, and weblinks, but the best features are yet to come. A running commentary with director Sydney Pollack is included, which is filled with tidbits of behind the scenes info. He gives insight on almost every aspect of this movie, locations, casting, the script, you name it. If you enjoy this movie, you should give this track a listen.
