I am reviewing the Alpha Home Entertainment version. Nothing against this film -- I am a fan of everything else I've seen by Powell and Pressburger and I expect I would at least enjoy this movie in other circumstances. I now realize I've been taking the restorations offered by Criterion for granted. The picture here is badly in need of restoration (which I was expecting), but the audio is a bigger problem for me. The sound is so muddy that I can't make out much of the dialogue, which itself wouldn't be that big a deal (I knew this was an inexpensive DVD so was not expecting much) except that there is no option for subtitles, which made simply following the plot an exercise in frustration.
