Add to that a palette of other zany characters and Rita Wilson as the beauty around who much of the story ranks, and you have a truly untamed comedy fireworks. The beautiful location and production design certainly help greatly to release the story and the actors from many of their limitations, giving them seemingly free reign. The transfer is enhanced for 16x9 television sets and reveals a great level of detail. Some grain is evident in a few select scenes but for the most part the source print is in good condition without distracting defects or scratches. The transfer restores the movie nicely with colors that appear slightly washed out, an indication of the movie s age and period.
Shadows are well defined and with good detail while blacks are deep and solid.
The picture s highlights are well-balanced, giving the film a pleasing presentation. The track is well integrated and natural sounding. Although the bass extension on the track appears slightly limited, the overall frequency response is quite pleasing without creating the harshness found in many other movies of the time. Dialogues are always understandable, nicely integrated into the movie s overall mix. The disc also contains selectable subtitles in English, French and Spanish, as well as the movie s theatrical trailer and cast biographies.
