Confirm the desired playback format before ordering. The stated director credit also lists both Ann Petrie and Norman Jewison, while the edition description identifies Jewison as director.

Customer feedback is strongly positive overall, with praise for the picture and visual presentation and for the acting and cast. Those comments are relevant to an edition advertised with a new 4K digital restoration and a notable ensemble, but customer impressions do not establish a guaranteed viewing result. The supplied rating distribution is mostly five-star, with a small share of lower ratings, and does not explain the reasons behind those ratings.
