I've just this morning completed watching the above title.
It is always a joy when a product achieves the level of perfection and satisfaction that this title has provided
I particularly want to emphasize the audio aspects of this release.
The staff at Twilight Time, and I want to mention two people in particular, Nick Redman and Mike Matessino, who have gone well out of their way to get this level of quality.
First, in providing the original stereo audio format, where available, for this and previous Fox CinemaScope titles (4-track, represented either in the form of a 4.0 or a 5.1).
Secondly, the Isolated Score track which Mike Matessino has gone to the trouble to present the music in its original recording format, three channel stereo. Listening to this score encoded in DTS-MA makes an immense difference to the listening experience instead of the traditional three to two mix down.
The picture, which is presented in its original 2.55 format is excellent. I shall reserve any further comments to "A Few Words....."
Previous TT titles which provided the isolated score in 3-channel stereo are "GARDEN OF EVIL", "INFERNO", "ANASTASIA" etc. Non TT Fox titles which have their isolated score in 3-channel are "THE ROBE" and "THE SEVEN-YEAR ITCH".
For those that have difficulty in listening to isolated scores because of the empty gaps in between cues, I recommend turning on the sub-titles which I think really helps. Listening to the scores like this compared to even the highest quality CD's still is to me a night and day difference.

. It was prolly 35mm and from what I recall it was in "plain" stereo ... In 1975 Oliver! was re-released and some of my cast mates who were in the play version & I went to see that version.It was in 70mm and had 4 channel stereo - every so once in a while the effects track would kick in the rears ...
