Not how I would describe it. The Laser Examiner's opinion certainly mirrors my own opinion of the transfer of the 1959 version. It also hits the nail on the head concerning the cheats that the studios allow the transfer and mastering houses to take in the name of expediency.
I'm just hoping that the issues with this title are related to the downconversion for DVD and are not the result of transfer problems. (But somehow I doubt it....)
OTOH, the silent version is an outstanding transfer, including some amazing digital color enhancement processing that was performed to make up for the color gamut limitations of the original 2 strip technicolor sequence.
