Pressing Notes

The video transfer is truly outstanding. The colors are vivid and rich. It looses some points on the contrast, which true to DiscoVision form, is too dark, but not as bad as other films transferred at the time. Even in the very dark scenes, we can still see what's going on. There are times the image appears just a tad blue, but overall, it is very good. The Technovision 2.35:1 aspect ratio has been very badly represented by this version, and there are times when the screen is showing nothing of substance on the screen. A Letterbox transfer is badly needed. The audio is equally well done. There is no high-end distortion and the musical score has been transferred with wide dynamic range.

The artwork on The Greek Tycoon also contained a misprint in the catalog number. The back of the box reported a catalog number of 10-001 and the top listed the catalog number at 10-011. Of course 10-011 is correct. The identity of catalog number 10-001 is unknown. Some speculated that Airport was the title assigned to this number, but it appeared as catalog number 10005 several years later.
