Opening with wide shots of forests in the fall, the ridiculous color will test any calibration. It's raw visual splendor, splashing oranges and yellows against the purest green grass possible. This gorgeousness doesn't stop, spreading to the flesh tones and every other primary in sight. Modern digital color grading can't reach this level of vividness and saturation so organically.

This is paired to an increase in dynamic range courtesy of the HDR. Sunlight dribbles over the images, intense enough to make noticeable gain over the Blu-ray edition. This further draws out the color as well. Marvelous, thick shadows complement the scenery too, bulking on what's nearly perfect mastering.

A few specks stick around through the years, but Trouble with Harry's print stays spotless otherwise. Via a 4K scan, tremendous detail takes hold. Certain wide shots exhibit alignment errors, likely the source more than the scan process, but it's possible either way. That's minor and held to a few shots. The absolute splendor on display makes up the difference. Added resolution brings out every nuance in the forests, even down to blades of grass. Facial texture appears on the regular.

Bernard Herrmann's score springs to life from this DTS-HD mono track, resolved well in the highs and presenting the slightest range. Clarity overall is high enough to pick up the obvious changes from dubbed dialog to live recordings. Unremarkable, but sufficient.
