Review title: Excellent DVD transfer, underrated film
Product review: This film is a hoot, at least in a droll, vaguely British fashion. Is it underrated because it was out of circulation so long? Or is it just atypical Hitchcock and people don't look past their expectations?Universal's new DVD transfer looks terrific--it's stable, colorful, sharp, and clean. To my eyes, it looks about as good as Warner's North by Northwest transfer, which set a high standard for material of this vintage. Both presumably benefit from being shot in VistaVision, a high-quality widescreen process that was new at the time and now largely gone. The sound is mono, reflecting the original 1954 recordings, and shows Bernard Hermann's score to good advantage. Give it a spin.
