The Wolf Man(1941)
A British nobleman undergoes a startling transformation when he's bitten by a gypsy werewolf.

And it might look that good -- as good as most of its fellow classic monster movies -- if it weren't for one widespread prevailing issue: ringing. Wire-thin edge halos are apparent throughout the film (some scenes more than others) and become quite a nuisance; so much so that it warrants more than a mention. It warrants a warning. Otherwise, the image has a lot going for it. Grain is gentle and consistent, contrast is impeccably balanced, black levels are satisfying, midrange grays aren't hindered or disrupted in any way, and fine detail reveals subtleties and textures in the original photography the majority of us have never seen before. The encode is also free of macroblocking, banding and other errant anomalies, making for what could have been a prime presentation. But, oh, those halos... The Wolf Man Blu-ray, Audio QualityUniversal's two-channel DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track doesn't flounder or fail either. Dialogue is bright, intelligible and rarely hemmed in, effects are supported nicely, screams and cries for help boast a blood-curdling pitch exclusive to the Golden Age of cinema, and howling winds, rustling branches and snarling beasts of the night aren't impeded (other than by the limitations of the era and the resulting audio elements). There is some distortion -- when an attack is backed by music in an already eventful scene, for example -- but again, such shortcomings are a product of the source, and the preservationists working on the project couldn't have done much more without sacrificing the integrity of the film's original sound design. All in all, another able-bodied lossless track from the Classic Monsters collection. Blu-ray bundles with The Wolf Man (1 bundle)
