The movie won seven Oscars when it was released in 1970 and is one of Ara's favorites. He has seen it at least ten times over the years and it has a permanent place on his movie server. So with the recent release on Blu-ray, We wanted to see if the movie benefited from the new technology.

Like you I find it very disappointing that little care or attention is taken when restoring a film, to restore the sound track. Now days there are some excellent computer programs available to restore sound and it is not hard to build upon a sound track adding the special effects. I restore the sound off of LP records as a hobby using professional equipment including a sub harmonic synthesizer and it is quiet amazing what can be done. I am not suggesting that one can restore old sound to the standard of a modern day recording, but with a little effort they can restore sound to be very presentable
