The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

While the MGM LaserDisc from the early '90s sounds terrible, the Criterion LD sounds better. The Criterion still sounds rather woolly (everything above ~7 kHz is attenuated), so perhaps an earlier release (LaserDisc or VHS) sounds better.

The opening music on the DVD has been spliced in from a different source; it sounds markedly better than the rest of the film. The rest has more noise reduction than the Criterion LaserDisc.

The blu-ray is like the DVD but with some minor additional filtering.




Update (4/13/2022): Added the Warner DVD and updated the images/video with a cleaner capture of the Criterion LD
