Digital compression artifacts were almost undetectable. The Dolby Digital monaural soundtrack is very good and clean sounding. Like most Italian productions from this period, the dialogue wasn't recorded live on the set and needed to be completely looped in a sound studio, so synchronization is not always perfect. However, Ennio Morricone's classic score sounds great on the track and is well worth amplifying. Other soundtrack options include French and Spanish language tracks.
Subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish.
This dual layered DVD offers RSDL technology for uninterrupted playback. As I stated above THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY is one of the great Spaghetti Westerns. The DVD is marvelous looking and offers a great value.
