The Court Jester was my last acquisition... back in December.
Wonderful movie, but the DVD is just OK.
The transfer is extremely well made, but the source is mediocre. It has horizontal lines during the first minute or so, speckles throughout, and is very soft. The color is perfect, though. It also has the aftermath of a sneeze in the top right corner that must have been photographed when the B&W separations were made.
The sound is perfect and the trailer is nice. I wish Paramount would properly restore the film from the negative or at least present the film as a VistaVision film should.
Still worth purchasing, despite the transfer's shortcomings.
