Reviews
-
“He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream, and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” -
The recording levels are very poor in two dialogues. When Ford and Arthur are on the Vogon ship before they are discovered and when Slartibartfast is monologuing to Arthur about the futility of planet design, one speaker is barely audible.
