★★★ · Unwatchable due to badly mixed and mastered audio · Sean Oliver · 2023-04-20

Why do so many of these 'restored' movies have such poor audio? Much of the dialogue is so quiet it's almost inaudible and viewer must turn volume way up to hear it - then suddenly there is music and sound FX which are ear-splitting loud. Constantly turning the volume up and down is no way to watch a movie. Less importantly, all the characters/plot in 'Pursued' except for Mitchum behave like bi-polar 4-year-olds suffering from ADHD. One of the silliest 'revenge' plot lines I think I've ever seen.
