To Be or Not to Be (1942)

Recall, the Criterion blu-ray sounds better than the StudioCanal blu-ray because its audio track is from superior source. However, the exact same audio transfer used for the Criterion blu-ray (and subjected to further noise reduction) was in fact used earlier for the 2005 Warner DVD. The Warner DVD is the best sounding version of this film, save perhaps for the 1998 Warner LD (which I'd say has a good chance of sounding better, since it was probably sourced from the same element but not subjected to any noise reduction at all).
The two remain in perfect sync after applying a -26068 ms delay to the Warner DVD, so they're definitely from the same a/d transfer.
