Vivien Leigh made her final screen appearance in this screen adaptation of Katherine Anne Porter's novel, which has been given a streamlined presentation for its DVD release. Ship of Fools has been given a full-frame transfer to disc at the aspect ratio of 1.33:1, while the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. The dialogue is in English with optional English subtitles included, but no multiple-language options or bonus materials appear on this edition.
