REPACK: Superior source.
REPACK2: First repack had accidentally used the file before delay was applied for the first commentary, this has now been corrected. Everything else is the same.

Video
The new UHD is a straightforward encoding upgrade in video, albeit a relatively minor one.

Audio
Criterion’s release is also an appreciable upgrade to the audio compared to the previous offering from Warner, offering an improved transfer of the 6-track mix, and bringing the mono mix to home video for the first time.

I’ve included multiple audio tracks in this release, representing various ways the film has been presented.

1) The original 1968 6-track mix — the film’s primary soundtrack, originally used for 70mm “roadshow” presentations.

I’ve opted to include two transfers of this mix, one from the 1997 5.1 LD, considered to be the best one up until this point, and the fresh one from the Criterion UHD, as neither is a clear-cut winner over the other. All transfers of this mix are pretty echoey, and although some of it is inherent to the mix, Criterion’s transfer is by far the best in this regard and sounds overall quite good. Unfortunately, its fidelity is mixed. While some of the musical sequences are clearly better than the LD, others are decidedly worse, and dialogue is a bit muffled. The LD, on the other hand, has an odd EQ with an annoying mid-range dip, rendering it a little hollow.

All other options were either lower fidelity (like Warner’s home releases) or flawed (like 70mm Cinema DTS, which suffers from severe phasing issues).

2) The original 1968 mono mix, used for 35mm presentations in most venues.

As the 35mm release omitted the overture and intermission, they are left silent. Oddly, contrary to Criterion’s own note, the exit music is present.

3) The 1999 5.1 surround remix, the track used for most DVD/Blu-ray releases.

This track is a complete remix, practically redoing the movie’s sound design from scratch, drastically improving the fidelity of music and effects in the process. Personally, I was surprised at how good it sounds; even its dialogue is well integrated.

4) A matrixed stereo remix, dating back to 1980s LD/VHS releases.

As it is also based on the 35mm release, it omits the overture, intermission, and exit music.
It’s a much gentler remix than the all-out 5.1 track, using higher quality music sources, but leaving pretty much everything else untouched.

All in all, each of the tracks sounds good in its own right, and I’m happy to be able to offer all of them.
