Remastered

" This is quite possibly the most-disappointing motion-picture experience of my life (in part due to the acclaim that it enjoys).

Video:
Even taking into account the source material, the 1.33:1 picture is sub-standard. Everything appears muddy and indistinct. Colors are seriously faded. Some moments appear to have water damage, and video noise is the dominant image characteristic.
Audio:
The DD 2.0 mono English audio track is thin and harsh. This is especially evident during the title sequence, during which brass instruments sound flat and distorted. Dialogue is highly grating as the actors mostly shout their lines, which causes their voices to get clipped during some passages. Analog hiss is prevalent.
Unfortunately, you don´t get subtitles or closed captions.
Extras:
"The Epic That Never Was" is a documentary about the 1937 Alexander Korda production of I, Claudius that was never completed. There are film clips and interviews with various participants.
--Miscellaneous--
There´s a booklet with chapter listings and a family tree of Emperors from Augustus to Nero.
