At a CinemaScope ratio, you should definitely opt for the anamorphic widescreen presentation over the full frame one. Colors are extremely natural looking, with good integrity and containment. Images are sharp and clear from start to finish, with no grain, break-up or other troublesome compression evidence. In other words, this film got the treatment a top comedy classic deserves. There's not much in the way of discreet channel usage, but the overall sound is fuller and cleaner sounding.
Dynamic range is fair, and dialogue is always very clear.
The disc features a few filmographies and trailers for three movies, none of which are Tootsie. Tootsie is a triumph. If you've seen it before, experience it again, and if you haven't, there's no better way to get acquainted with this charming comedy classic than on this quality DVD offering from Columbia Tri Star.
