228 - Salvatore Giuliano
 

The Criterion Collection 228

Salvatore Giuliano is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. On widescreen televisions, black bars will appear on the left and right of the image to maintain the proper screen format. This new high-definition digital transfer was created on a C-Reality Datacine with Oliver Electronic Wetgate processing from the original 35mm restored camera negative. To further enhance the image, the MTI Digital Restoration System was used to remove thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from a restored soundtrack negative, and audio restoration tools were used to remove 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 to two-channel playback for a wider dispersal of the mono sound.
