The Tender Trap comes to Blu-ray via the Warner Archive Collection and is shown in its original 2.55 widescreen aspect ratio and has been given a new 1080p high-definition transfer. No real surprise at this point, but the picture here looks fantastic, detail is incredibly sharp throughout for both close-ups and the more distant shots, colors are vibrant and well balanced, and there were no significant bouts of aliasing, artifacts, specs or other major flaws making this a clean transfer. The movie comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that offers up clear dialogue levels, primarily through the center channel with the most depth and usage of the front and rear speakers being relegated for the music and score. |
