Story Synopsis:
Connery made his explosive film debut as James Bond

DVD Picture:
Though not THX digitally mastered, the 1.78:1 DVD exhibits the same mediocre transfer as reviewed on DVD in Issue 27. The anamorphically enhanced picture is dated, with film grain noticed throughout. Colors are generally balanced, and nicely rendered. Edge enhancement is noticed for a picture that is mediocre at best.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
