It would be nice to report that Paramount has released Foul Play to Blu-ray with a handsome, filmic transfer befitting the material and the original film source. Sadly, that is not the case. Instead, this 1080p transfer is not the finest the studio has ever released. Far from it, in fact. The picture might look serviceably good at a glance, but its shortcomings are readily apparent on a second look. Grain is frozen in place, leaving behind a meshy, filtered look. The picture does not look dramatically smoothed over to the point that textures have turned to wax, but heavy filtering is readily apparent, and the frozen grain structure is anything but attractive. A few spots and speckles are apparent as well, further degrading the viewing experience. Details may not be plastic, but neither are they organic. There's a dullness, a flatness, to them, leaving would-be complex faces, clothes, and environments looking less than perfect and even less that acceptable. Colors fare well enough, at least, offering decent foundational depth and contrast, but never mind that: the processing is just too much. Why Paramount chose to release this in the current state, when the studio has been on such a role with other catalogue titles of late (even outside of the "Paramount Presents" line) is anyone's guess. Fans long wanting this film on Blu-ray are going to be disappointed, even those who don't label themselves as "videophiles."

6 H1 u' u" L1 I, m/ KWhile the 1080p video transfer leaves much to be desired, the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack is in fine shape. The presentation offers impressively wide and immersive music – a chase scene in chapter four is one of the highlights – that holds for the duration, including during the intoxicatingly fun sequence in Dudley Moore's apartment. There's not a whole lot more going on beyond music. Light atmosphere in bars, city streets, and the like offer good essential immersion elements with fine foundational clarity. Dialogue is clear, clean, well prioritized, and centered for the duration. This is a very good listen overall.
