Editor's Notes

Note

Kino Lorber C-Tier 4K. Billy Wilder's POW comedy-drama is better than its tier suggests. The Kino release landed with a shrug from collectors who were hoping for Sunset Boulevard instead, and the C-Tier reflects limitations in the source material rather than a bad job by Kino.
