OVERALL: Draw
The standard edition and the box set feature identical specs for the film (do note the box set includes three more films).
GENERAL NOTES:
The film was released in anamorphic 35mm with a stereophonic soundtrack. The mono mix is a reduction for non-compatible theaters while the 5.1 tracks on the DVDs are remixes of the mono track. -
