On Her Majesty's Secret Service on LD. It gets better every time. The Lazenby purrs in PCM. 5,000 Big brawny Australian balls.

I watched The Untouchables for the first time in ages. Was flipping channels and landed on AMC's Mob week where they were showing this pan n' scan with a bunch of smearing and crummy audio. So I realized I had an LD floating around of it in a stack I picked up from someone who was throwing them out.

It's a lot better than what I used to give it credit for, but the ending is just so empty. It really leaves the viewer hanging. You want more but it just never gives the plot depth you're looking for. 3 of yoursh in the hoshpital out of 4 of theirsh in the morgue. The PCM track did show a nice mix and good soundstage-good ol' Dolby Stereo. Ennio Morricone always shines. And watching this reminded me once again of how talented Connery is and how sad it is to think of him as retired.
