In Like Flint (1967)

The Twilight Time blu-ray includes both a 5.1 track and the original mono mix, both in DTS-HD MA. The former is almost certainly reprocessed from the latter and sounds like it was then subjected to heavy noise reduction and the addition of a HUGE amount of reverb. Goldsmith's score sounds like it was recorded in a cave, and all life (all high frequencies -- an enormous amount of detail) has been removed from it and the dialogue and sound effects. The bass is also WAY too loud--it sounds mushy and incoherent, particularly noticeable in the score. The mono mix is much more detailed and sounds phenomenal--a reference track.
