1988 MGM/Turner Hi-Fi VHS: Detailed and natural.
2008 R1 Warner Bros DVD - Frank Sinatra Collection: More muffled due to noise reduction.
2015 Warner Bros Blu-ray: Like the DVD but with a treble boost. Also a lossy transcode.

Carlotta FR Blu-ray box set: 2K restoration of 4K scan. This 2K restoration’s detail level is quite good, although its highlights are somewhat blown out. On the other hand, the newer 4K restoration (on DCP only as of Aug 2026) exhibits severe black crush.
TBD. Carlotta sounds muffled.
Carlotta’s English subtitles omit quite a bit of dialog. This was improved upon in the subs accompanying the newer 4K restoration DCP.
