VIDEO \u2013 4\u00bc\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Kino Lorber releases F.P. 1 Doesn\u2019t Answer<\/em><\/strong>, presented with a 1.19 full frame aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. This black and white picture, going on nearly 90 years old, looks pretty darn good. Detail is fairly sharp and although there are plenty signs of film damage, the black levels being stark and well balanced and whites not seeming washed out.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4\u00bc\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The disc comes with a German language DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track. For the most part this track sounds great with dialogue coming across with good clarity and there was only some minor detection of some pops but nothing that was especially distracting.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
