Viewing Notes

Absolutely gorgeous print! This is Shout Select’s new 4K transfer from the original negative with remastered sound (I chose to watch it with the 5.1 Mandarin soundtrack but it has the original Mandarin mono track as well). This is the first time I think I’ve seen this in its original aspect ratio (2.35:1) and original language.
