195 - I Fidanzati
 

The Criterion Collection 195

I Fidanzati is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are normal for this format. This new high-definition digital transfer was created from a 35mm fine-grain master positive on a C-Reality teleceine with Oliver electronic wetgate. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches were removed using the MTI Digital Restoration System. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from the 35mm optical negative; audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. The Dolby Digital 1.0 signal will be directed to the center channel on 5.1-channel sound systems, but some viewers may prefer to switch their surround systems to two-channel playback for a wider dispersal of the mono sound.
