I saw Rear Window in the theater the other day. The picture was bizarrely soft, but the AMC's around here seem to have that problem on just about everything, so it didn't surprise me that much. I have no doubt it would have looked much better at Harkins, which consistently has superior projection quality.

I'd seen it before a few times, but never on the big screen, so it was a lot of fun to get to experience that. The colors weren't as vibrant as I would have expected, but that might have more to do with the shortcomings of the theater than the master itself. Still, I'd expect a proper Technicolor print to outperform it by a significant margin.

To answer your question, though, it unfortunately does have the infamous 5.1 remix, which, for my money, is the worst remixing job for a movie ever done.

I think the 2004 remix of Star Wars would like to venture an opposing view . . . ;)
