Thanks for that link.
It does seem disappointing. I wonder how good a job they will do with the
remastering. I mean, the Image Entertainment version was supposed to have
been remastered and that looks like shite, with horrific noise on the
picture and really intrusive film damage in some scenes.
I was also hoping for some extra features (making of, etc...).
I mean I know the film was made fifty odd years ago but there must still be
somepeople involved with it that are still alive for interviews and so on
(eg: Rex Reason is still with us).
They may as well not bother I think.
Cheers!
