Review of the UK release, with a comparison to the previous OOP R1 edition, on DVDBeaver.

Pretty disheartening to see it's a total barebones editions (not even a subtitle track!), considering the fine jobs done recently with other film titles by Fox (Laura) or Warners (the Film Noir Collection).

At least picture quality is good.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably hold off a bit and hope for a better release somewhere, but at least it's comforting to know that it is available.

I have it and while the picture itself is beatiful, the pal speedup is very evident in McMurry's voice. Since I have seen the film on many occasions I am familiar with the sound of his voice and on the R2 disc his voice is definately higher than what I remember. This is also the case in the R2UK version of Ransom. As R1's SE was released in a non-anamorphic version I opted for the anamorphic R2 disc and Mel's voice is definately clipping off at a speed much higher than the R1 equivalent. In all the R2UK discs that I have I have never experienced this before. It can be a bit annoying at the onset but you get used to it (at least I am ) and get on with the film
