Thanks for the review. I'll have to pick this one up.

I have one minor quibble. Hi-def or high fidelity sound doesn't inherently mean multi channel. High Fidelity simply means that the sound signal and the equipment it is playing through are able to reproduce a wide frequency range with great accuracy. Mono can clearly do this.

I will grant you that the general nature of film sound in the late 60s probably means that this track is something less than High Fidelity.

Also the volume of this sound track was intentionally mixed low at the request of Warren Beatty at the time of the making of the film, so that the gun shots, mixed at a higher volume than the over all track, would be shockingly loud to the audience.
