Editor's Notes

Note

A-Tier Sony 4K with a perfect 5.0 score, part of the Columbia Classics Vol. 5 alongside Little Women and Age of Innocence. The Criterion Blu-ray was already pricy because of the extras, and people are debating whether to wait for a standalone 4K. The restoration was already done in 4K, so the disc should look good.
