The Grand Duel [Blu-ray] [1972]
The Grand Duel features English and Italian language tracks in LPCM Mono. This is one of the rare instances (in my experience, anyway) where there are some clear differentiations in the sound quality between the two. To my ears, dialogue especially sounds hotter on the Italian track, but the music is considerably more muffled and boxy sounding (listen, for example to the closing "honky tonk" number that plays under the final credits, and toggle between the English and Italian language tracks to hear what I'm talking about). The English language track has a more full bodied accounting of the music, but dialogue doesn't seem to be quite as far forward in the mix to my ears. Fidelity is fine on both tracks, and, as per Arrow's verbiage above, synch is almost comically loose in both languages.
Lee Van Cleef is second only to Clint Eastwood as a Spaghetti Western anti-hero, and this film is no exception as an ex-sheriff who helps a man framed for murder by a ruthless family of killers.
