Franco Zeffirelli's eight-hankie remake of The Champ comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Mono. English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by male leads Rick Schroder and Jon Voight, a making-of featurette, and the theatrical trailer for this film as well as the original 1931 production of the film. This is a strong disc from Warner Brothers that is noteworthy for having Schroder commenting as an adult on his work as a child actor. |
