Colors are strongly rendered and would appear to be a close approximation of an original British Technicolor print of the film. As I mentioned above, the colors in the film start off in a subdued manner and gradually build in intensity to the film s colorful climax. Flesh tones are sometimes intentionally pale, but they are accurate. All of the hues are completely stable, including the intense reds that show up late in the film. Blacks are accurately rendered, and the level of shadow detail is good for a color film from 1947.
Film grain is somewhat noticeable at various points throughout the film, but is never distracting.
There are some minor blemishes that crop up occasionally, however they are easily ignored on this movie that is more than a half a century old. The Dolby Digital monaural soundtrack does have the frequency limitations of a film more than half a century old, but it never sounds distorted. There is a bit of hiss present and a slight brittleness to the sound, but it nothing out of the ordinary for a track of this vintage. Dialogue is always crisp and fully intelligible. The basic interactive menus provide access to the standard scene selection and set up features.
