| IVL presents Celestial's restored transfer in a non-anamorphic 1.66:1 framed aspect ratio (box claims anamorphic 1.66:1). A low-budget shoot, colours still remain vivid and while the transfer appears soft, sharpness ranks as good overall.
The Cantonese (with some English mixed in) Dolby Digital 2.0 mono track sounds clear, presenting dialogue, music and effects well. Early on some dialogue sounds hollow but that doesn't appear, at least not in a noticeable way, again. A Mandarin 2.0 option is also included.
The English subtitles come with no noticeable errors but appear mistimed for a few moments and doesn't appear at all for a few others. Traditional Chinese subtitles are also included.
The standard Celestial extras turns up, starting with their newly created and subtitled trailers for The Illegal Immigrant, My Name Ain't Suzie, Maybe It's Love, How To Pick Girls Up! and Let's Make Laugh II. Movie Information section holds 10 Movie Stills (one of which is a behind the scenes photo), an image of the original poster (also seen on the back cover), production notes (in fact the plot synopsis) and decent biographies/filmographies for director Mabel Cheung, actors Ching Yung-Cho, Wu Fu-Sheng and Liao Cheng-Yu. They help in giving basic insight into the production of the film and reveals where Mabel Cheung and Alex Law found their cast. The bio's do not go much further into the careers of the filmmakers though. |
