The set pieces are pedestrian, while the suspense is negligible. The really sad part is that the film was directed by the brilliant Stanley Donen, who obviously didn't put his heart into the film. Nothing in the film suggests that Donen was behind the camera. Standard issue full-frame effort with some noticeable wear and tear on the original negative. Images are decent but not extremely sharp, and depth of field is negligible.
Flesh tones are okay, and so are the blacks, but the overall look is flat and uninteresting.
Some color flare during the exterior scenes, but no noticeable compression artifacts or flecking. Deaf Except for a small hiss in the rear speakers, I was amazed at the intensity of the soundtrack, which is delivered in Dolby Digital Stereo. Good dialogue mix and engaging stereo effects. Basses are strong, and the rest of the sound field sounds clean, but the rear speakers seem to hiss when all of the action moves to the front. What started off as great aspirations quickly became financial and critical embarrassments at the box office.
