Colors on the DVD offer better saturation than Laserdisc, without the color noise or bleeding. The film element used for the transfer does have some slight limitations, and doesn't always appear to be as vivid as an original IB Technicolor print, but this DVD incarnation comes pretty darn close most of the time. The two-channel Dolby Digital track sounds quite good, especially when one considers the audio technology that was available back in the early 1950's. The music appears to have been given a stereo re-mix with pleasing results. Other soundtrack options include French and Spanish language tracks.
Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish.
The interactive menus offer chapter search, plus access to an original theatrical trailer. This great looking DVD edition of the film is about the best way to enjoy it in your home.
