Sound Restoration at the Criterion Collection:The Beatles, Bob Dylan, & The Who

Audio Supervisor Ryan Hullings gives us a behind-the-scenes look—and listen—at the challenges of sound restoration using three music-centric classics as case studies: Richard Lester’s A Hard Day’s Night (1964), featuring the fan-beset young Beatles; D. A. Pennebaker’s Don’t Look Back (1967), starring a spiky young Bob Dylan; and the film realization of The Who’s anthemic mod epic, Quadrophenia (1979). (program approx. 60 mins., DCP)
