It's barebones -- no extras; a commentary track would have been welcome -- but the picture looks great and the sound is pretty nice, too.

Adequate retelling of the story but its TV origins are obvious, the winter outdoor scenes are especially clearly sets, and the leading actresses performances are only okay, the real performances to watch are old pros McGuire, Young and particularly Greer Garson whose vinegary portrait of old Aunt March is a delight.
