Again, I
synchronized the DVD for an A / B comparison and was startled at the difference
between the DVD's Dolby Digital 5.1
sound and the new disc's track.
However, this is not truly a silent film: carefully deployed
sound effects — such as echoing footsteps or birds chirping — produce a distinctly
synchronized relationship
between sound and image that was unheard of prior to the advent of «the talkies.»
