DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered picture that is easy on the eyes. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks.

A slight problem was noticed in the end credits where the picture breaks up into large blocky pixels, but otherwise the picture is satisfying. (Suzanne Hodges)
