The Bed Sitting Room's Blu-ray presentation, with solid AVC encoding in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, offers reasonable detail and color fidelity despite mild specking and frame damage. Its 1080p transfer features a film grain that preserves an organic look, though occasional edge enhancement and muted colors reflect its age and filming environment.

Audio: 47

The 2.0 DTS-HD MA audio track emphasizes dialogue within period limitations, but accents and occasional musical intrusions can obscure clarity. Atmospherics remain passable with interesting nuances, despite minor sync issues from shoddy ADR work. Overall, a decent effort with no significant age-related anomalies.

Extra: 31

The Blu-ray extras of 'The Bed Sitting Room' present an engaging mix of trailers and insights, highlighted by John Landis's affectionate yet politically charged commentary in 'Trailers From Hell'. The collection includes multiple HD trailers for other Richard Lester films, providing a comprehensive nostalgic experience.

Movie: 66

1969’s 'The Bed Sitting Room,' directed by Richard Lester and based on Spike Milligan and John Antrobus’ oddball play, is a wildly disjointed and completely absurd post-apocalyptic comedy that thrives on its peculiar British humor and episodic randomness, offering a unique viewing experience for fans of surreal comedy.
