## Before you buy

- The listing calls the soundtrack an uncompressed monaural soundtrack in the special-edition description, but separately lists English \(Dolby Digital 5.1\) under language. These audio details are inconsistent, so confirm the track configuration if it matters to your setup.

## A good fit for

- Viewers who enjoy classic romantic comedies, especially Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn films.
- Criterion collectors interested in restoration and contextual extras, including an earlier adaptation of the same play.

## Less suited to

- Buyers seeking a 4K Ultra HD disc. The listing specifies Blu-ray, while 4K refers to the digital restoration.

## Customer feedback

The aggregate ratings are strongly favorable overall, with most ratings in the five-star category, but they do not reveal what reviewers praised or criticized. Treat them as a broad satisfaction signal rather than evidence about picture quality, supplements or the conflicting audio details. The listed restoration and archival extras may appeal to classic-film collectors, but those are edition claims, not customer-reported feedback.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is this a 4K Ultra HD disc?
No. The listed media format is Blu-ray. The description says the film received a new 4K digital restoration, which does not mean the disc is 4K Ultra HD.
### What special features are listed?
The listing names Holiday \(1930\), a conversation between Michael Schlesinger and Michael Sragow, George Cukor oral-history audio excerpts, a costume gallery and an essay by Dana Stevens.
### What audio format does the listing specify?
It gives conflicting information: the special-edition description says uncompressed monaural soundtrack, while the details section lists English \(Dolby Digital 5.1\). Check the selected edition details if audio format is important.
