There\u2019s no mention on the back cover of where this master came from so presumably it was provided by the rights\u2019 holder (Pathe Films?). But whatever the case, the picture here looks decent with sharp enough detail on the close-ups while some of the matte paintings and effects do show the film\u2019s age. But that said, colors appear nicely balanced and is relatively clean though there is some specs and scratches that are noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>The disc comes with the choice of a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 or PCM 2.0 track, the former being the default option. The dialogue comes across fairly clearly and there is okay depth for the more action-centric scenes.
