George Seaton's 36 Hours (1964) never should have been shot in Panavision -- that's the first thing one realizes on watching this DVD release. The black-and-white movie has been transferred letterboxed (2.35-to-1) with a sharp, richly contrasted image, but the widescreen format doesn't work for the director or the actors, or the story. Still, that's how it was photographed and there's no way around it, so the letterboxing is essential even in the process behind it was unneeded and unwanted. The movie has been issued by Warner Home Video with minimal bonus features, its own trailer plus a pair of trailers for thematically-related James Garner titles. The 12 chapters are just adequate to the structure of the movie, but no more than adequate, and the volume is set rather low, although it does boost up nicely through speakers and is sharp enough to bring out all of the dialogue nuances and the details of Dimitri Tiomkin's music. The disc opens automatically to a simple two-layer menu.
