Always liked this movie and never bought the DVD. Will likely pick up this BD.

I will upgrade my DVD since the movie was filmed here where I live and is something of a local legend. It is fun to see how things have changed, or not, since then.

I hate it when they go all desaturated on the covers for old films. This one's ok....it's the movie that matters of course.

More of The Duke on Blu is always a good thing.

Ugly cover, though.

Seems to solve the excess green problem although not mentioned in the text of the review itself.

Ack! Amazon is now saying they won't have this until mid-January, possibly. Other online shops are listing it as in-stock, though. That's frustrating.
