Notes on my reviews: I do not offer plot summaries in most cases, as these can be found on a million other sites, but rather focus instead on what people want to know: the image and sound presentation, default playback settings, subtitles, audio choices, etc. My equipment: Panasonic TC-P55UT50 Plasma monitor (3-D capable); Panasonic DMP-BDT220 3-D Blu-ray player; LG BD-360 all-region Blu-ray player; Denon AVE-E200 5.1 Surround receiver. All aspect ratios are physically measured on the Panasonic screen, which has been set to eliminate overscan.
LABEL: Sony COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Italy REGION: All-Region, confirmed. ASPECT RATIO: 1.37:1 C/BW: BW SOUND: English Mono Running Time: 110 m Subtitles: None. HD Interviews with Martin Scorcese and Baz Luuhrman. CHAPTERS: 16
One of the enduring noirs from the 1940's gets a typically fine transfer from Sony. Too bad that it is so far only available from overseas, but at least this is an all-region disc.
Natural grain is quite evident. The image is sharp, and exhibits terrific gray scale/contrast. The mono sound is clear and
without distortion.
Sony is once again amazingly supportive of language and subtitle options, Audio choices include English, French, German, Japanese, Portugese, Spanish.
Subtitles - well, too many to list, but includes all major languages worldwide.
Highly recommended.
