I watched it last night, and it is indeed one of the best black-and-white transfers I've ever seen. In fact, I'd say it's in the top ten of black-and-white transfers in terms of sharpness and clarity, contrast, and smoothness. It just shows you that others besides Warner Bros. (who are the only ones who seem to get this sort of praise) are doing incredible work. Bravo.
And you can put me in the category of people who hate the film version of Hello, Dolly! For me, it's one of the most wrong-headed charmless film musicals ever made. I do love the Broadway show, and was surprised at how much of The Matchmaker's dialogue is used verbatim with no changes at all.
