There are at times some definite trouble spots with a presence of noise throughout, which was to be expected. Also, at times, it seems as if the focus might be off, but that could be because "The Dirty Dozen" is fairly soft throughout the movie. Even with its few troubles, "The Dirty Dozen" is has a very nice transfer

The presentation suffers not from a poor transfer, but from the inconsistencies that arise from the elements used (which we can presume are the best available). So although it looks better than it ever has - some scenes are decidedly weaker than others with some light scratches/speckles and haziness - most probably inherent in the print itself. Without my undue complaining it really does look pretty strong with the infrequent weaknesses bringing you back to earth and reminding you that the film is 40 years old. Warner's VC-1 encode makes the most of the image just don't expect perfection. Detail can have some exquisite moments and colors may be a shade washed. It is - what it is... and for me that is good enough. Black levels show fair contrast and grain, or fine noise is thankfully visible at times. I appreciated the consistency in outdoor scenes. Overall, it is a very satisfying image presentation that excels over the past SDs have owned. The feature film on the Blu-ray takes up 22.6 Gig of the dual-layered disc.
