There's a huge gap from chapter 16 to chapter 32 with no commentary. On side two of the DVD there is a short remembrance of Henry Fonda narrated by Jane Fonda and also a tape of an appearance of the principals of Mister Roberts on the Ed Sullivan Show. Presented in 2.35 anamorphic widescreen, Mister Roberts is a welcome addition to the DVD library. Historically, the film boasts several screen legends as part of the cast. The source material for the transfer is quite good.
Some scenes are a bit too grainy, but the overall look is pleasing.
The transfer never injects itself between the viewer and the film. Images are reasonably sharp, colors adequately saturated. Dialogue is easy to understand and the Franz Waxman score, though not extensive, sounds fine.
