Black are deep and true, while all of the shades of gray are faithfully reproduced all the way up to white. Contrast is solid and the level of detail is superb throughout the film. Digital compression artifacts were almost undetectable. The Dolby Digital monaural soundtrack is clean sounding, although the Chase Surround Stereo re-mix adds a bit of atmosphere to the track. The musical number performed by Gene Krupa and His Orchestra, as well as Alfred Newman's musical score also benefit from the Chase Surround Stereo re-mix.
Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish.
