I've got a couple of their flicks (Hannie Caulder and Sands of the Kalahari), and both are quite strong. Olive doesn't have the resources of a Criterion or KINO, but they seem to select their catalog titles with care to find good prints and give them a bit of spit and polish, while retaining the film's original texture. I've linked to some captures below.
