R E L E A S E N O T E S
Rita Hayworth's singing was dubbed by Martha Mears.
Although the Discographic information on Amazon.com
indicates both a DD 5.0 and a DD 2.0 Surround audio track,
the DVD only contains a 2-channel Mono track.
On a ripping note, the movie does not compress particularly
well. Care was taken in adjusting various filters so as to
keep the release within the 1CD limit imposed by the TDX.
"Quality" *could* be improved by using stronger settings...
at the expense of giving the movie an over-filtered look.
