"A meticulously engineered transfer that, in effect, created a new negative and beautifully brought back the sheen of the original color." -Richard Christiansen, The Chicago Tribune

David Lean's sumptuous Technicolor drama, about an American woman's affair with a married Italian man, is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. In this exclusive restoration, as in the theatrical release, the canals and pensiones of Venice shimmer with a magical light. Star Katharine Hepburn looks gorgeous. This edition was pieced together the original Technicolor masters. Then, an internegative constructed from those masters was carefully restored. Finally, a new transfer was made from this internegative. The result is breathtaking!
