Blu-ray DVD Movies Disc - The Sound of Music
Product Description
20th Century Fox | 1965 | 175 min | Rated G | Nov 02, 2010
Playback
Region Free
Julie Andrews lights up the screen as Maria, the spirited young woman who leaves
the convent to become governess to the seven children of Captain Von Trapp, an
autocratic widower whose strict household rules leave no room for music or
entertainment.
Now
this is how you do a restoration of a film from the mid-1960s.
The
Sound of Music was shot in the widescreen 70mm Todd-AO format, and for this
new release, the original negatives were scanned at 8K and downsized to a 4K
master that has been given an extensive restoration. Color fluctuations between
takes have been corrected and thousands of instances of dirt and debris have
been removed, resulting in a 1080p/AVC- encoded transfer that's absolutely
pristine. Most importantly, the fine grain structure of the 70mm negative hasn't
been tampered with at all and there have been no attempts to artificially
sharpen the picture. It simply isn't needed. Like most of the other 70mm films
to appear on Blu-ray?i>2001: A Space Odyssey,
Baraka,
etc.?i>The Sound of Music inherently has a tremendous sense of clarity,
revealing every detail of the wool and herringbone suits, the ornately gilded
interiors of the von Trapp estate, individual blades of grass on a mountaintop
meadow, and the fine textures of the actors' faces. Some close-ups do appear
softer, but this is only because a diffusion filter was used during filming to
give a flattering glow to some of the older performers. Color reproduction is
warm and dense as well, with vivid primaries, rich neutrals, perfectly attuned
black levels, and skin tones that are natural and consistent. Unlike the
artifact-heavy DVD, there are no real compression issues to speak of here. I did
spot梑riefly梥ome moir?like shimmer on the fine lines of Maria's apron at the very
beginning of the film, but it's hardly a distraction. I can't imagine
The
Sound of Music looking any better than it does here, and I have no problems
giving it a full 5/5 for picture quality.
TUnusual for the mid-1960s,
The Sound of Music featured six-track stereo,
allowing seamless pans and sweeps and plenty of room for the orchestral score to
breath. For the first time, the film's restorers had access to the original
six-track print master, which they've digitally restored and expanded into a
lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround mix. The results梬ithout gushing too
much梐re flawless. I mean, you'd expect nothing less from a film called
The
Sound of Music, right? Well, rest assured, the music sounds fantastic梤ich,
dynamically expressive, and wonderfully clean. The score fills every channel
during the musical numbers, and the spacious mix generates a great sense of
interplay between the individual instruments. And the singing! As crisp as the
alpine air. The same goes for the non-sung dialogue, which is perfectly
balanced. Fans couldn't ask for more. Like the restoration of the print, it's
clear that a lot of time and effort went into optimizing the audio for this
release. (If you're interested, make sure to check out the
Restoring a
Classic: A Glorious Sound featurette for details on how the audio cleanup
was accomplished.)
