Since there\u2019s no mention on the back cover, this likely did not receive any restoration work and the transfer was provided to KL by MGM. As it is, this is a ifne looking picture, albeit pretty soft in texture but that\u2019s not a slight on the picture but how it was shot. Even so, detail was respectable enough and colors appear to be well balanced.<\/p>\n<p>The disc included DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track. Dialogue comes across fairly good and clean with maybe a hint of some minor hissing but otherwise nothing terribly distracting. There\u2019s not a whole lot to this track although there is some minor depth for a track like this and for a movie this old that doesn\u2019t have a whole lot of action.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/images4.imagebam.com\/32\/e8\/ec\/MERWBG6_o.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-screencapture aligncenter\" title=\"Burnt Offerings\" src=\"https:\/\/images4.imagebam.com\/32\/e8\/ec\/MERWBG6_o.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Check out some more 1080p screen caps by going to page 2.
