- The movie (Sides 1 through 4) is in CLV. Digital audio handles the movie
- soundtrack, Analog 1 and Analog 2 have some fascinating commentary from the
- various principals on the making of the film. Sides 5 and 6 are in CAV and
- contain supplementary info. The transfer is terrific, given the treatment
- Universal gave the film over the years (not too good.)
