Overview

"Part film noir, part hysterical melodrama with a deep Southern Gothic edge, this 1955 Joan Crawford film contains enough sordid twists and turns to make you want to slap your mama. Columbia-TriStar Home Entertainment's disc is presented in a very nice digitally remastered transfer, letterboxed at 1.85:1, which has also been enhanced for widescreen TVs. The black-and-white picture is excellent and doesn't show its age at all. The print is clean throughout and perfectly balanced. Blacks are velvety and have depth, while the whites are smooth and appropriately luminescent without any glare. The picture is simply gorgeous. The film is available in its original English mono soundtrack, which sounds fine, and has been given multiple subtitle options. In terms of extras, the disc contains the original theatrical trailer, some nice vintage advertising stills, production notes, cast and crew bios, and bonus trailers for other similar classic Columbia-TriStar DVD releases. A brief ""publicity article"" from the original press book has also been included inside the keep-case. Overall, a very nice disc for your classic film collection."
