How are the featurettes? I'm assuming that the commentary track is the same as on the original MGM release, so really wonder if buying this new release is much of an "upgrade".

Honestly, it doesn't look like that much of a big deal... looks to be virtually identical to the existing disc, unless I'm missing something.

As for the disc and what's new... It has a new anamorphic transfer, the previous DVD is letterboxed with no 16X9 enhancement... That's all I need.

Considering the low list price, I'd almost double dip just for the cover alone; the old one is so very ugly, and this new one looks really cool.
But I'm not gonna double dip anytime soon; I hate to support studios putting out new versions of stuff just because of marketing, and this is just being put out because they're promoting the re-make.

How did you guys NOT know about this is my question? I read about this coming to promote the remake with Denzel Washington. I ordered it when the DDD first 20% off coupon came out and got it for $7.30.
I'm glad WB is finally treating some of these classics with decent restorations and added SE material! Woo-hoo!
