I would love to get this DVD, but I cannot seem to find it for under $150, and the transfer isn't so great either, from what I understand.

I was looking around amazon.com, and I noticed that some people are selling an import version for about $30. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it a bootleg or a legitimate release? How is the transfer?

Thanks

The transfer on the OOP one was not that great. I sold mine for $50 because I know a classic movie like this will eventually be re-released.
I would say just be patient and get a VHS copy for $4 if you have to.

thats sound advice, Quatermass!

im waiting too... hopefully soon... better late than never....

2004 will be the 60th Anniversary, so I'm hoping someone will release an Anniversary edition sometime next year, although I have not read of any plans to do so.

I'll keep the current dvd until they get out a new one. I forgot it was oop.

Yeah - I'd hold off - this is not only a fav amongst Noir films, but like Quater said next year is the 60th Anniv

whoa! when did this get so expensive?

you could buy a new u.s. copy for about 50 bucks, right now, on ebay...if you want it bad enough. someone is also selling a "like new" copy and the bid is about 18 bucks. so if you want it......

of course all this talk just made me pull my copy out....now I know what I'm watching tonight...crappy transfer or not.

I never thought the transfer was all that bad.

That movie rocks. I first saw it in my Theater Class back in college in 1991.

The transfer has a lot of dirt and speckling. I have a 27" TV so I probably should comment on the quality, but I sure hoped it would be better for a classic like this one.

I have an unopened copy of this... I have been meaning to get it on E-Bay, but never got around to it.
