This is a stunning restoration of one of the best comedies ever written. It absolutely shines on 4K UHD - colours are faithfully reproduced, and HDR, while used sparingly to my eyes, ensures that the occasional splashes of primary colours that are allowed amidst the drab and muted English tones are perfectly balanced. The audio I feel could be a little more balanced - there are a couple of lines that are difficult to hear while running the film at a volume comfortable for the majority of it, but I suspect these are issues with the original source material. If it wasn't recorded clearly in the first place, there's not much to be done! Special features are through the roof. There's five discs (including one CD) packed with content to trawl through (although the second disc is just the BD with the same features as the 4K). It's fascinating to hear about the period of history in film this picture was made in. I'm very keen to purchase more classic Ealing Studios films after seeing fleeting clips of them in the special features. Get your hands on this if you can. So glad it is on my shelf. I think I will return to this set every year or two for a long time. Just a delight.
