Not knowing that he was going to create a cottage industry for himself and Peter Sellers, writer director Blake Edwards fashioned a film that is part caper comedy and part sex farce. The Letterboxed transfer itself is nice, but I'm sure a new anamorphic enhanced one could have looked much better. Still, the image is sharp and detailed.
Film grain is noticeable in a few places, but never becomes bothersome.
The well-saturated hues usually don't display any traces of chroma noise, plus the hotter hues remain very stable in appearance. Blacks are true black and the image contains solid contrast. The Dolby Digital monaural soundtrack is of the two-channel variety, offering clean and crisp sound within the limits of 1960's recording technology. Voices are always intelligible, but the music isn't what one would call high fidelity. It's too bad Henry Mancini's now classic theme music couldn't have been enhanced for this presentation, but I guess that is what compact discs are for.
