Just been reading the comparison between the US and UK If... DVDs and noticed Amazon have this:



here On sale too for less than £11.

the HMV exclusive is better IMO...i have it.

Blind buy for me, after the conversion comes out to the same price in US$ as the criterion, but the inclusion of the screenplay made it an easy decision. Thanks for posting.

What does it include? A little more info would be nice.

^ I checked it out at hmv.co.uk and it seems it is just an exclusive slip cover. But then again maybe I missed something.

No, you didn't miss anything, a white slipcase with 'if....' cut out so that the DVD case shows beneath. That's it; all sets come with the postcards.

The Amazon exclusive 'script' is more or less simply a transcript of the dialogue rather than a reproduction of the shooting script, but it's quite nice, 50 plus pages, and it colour matches the design of the DVD cover and the 'normal' slipcase. The DVD and booklet come shrinkwrapped together - it would have been nice to have the lot in one slipcase, but what the heck.

yes...the amazon exclusive sucks for having The DVD and booklet come shrinkwrapped together.the Criterion artwork looks OK.but the HMV slipcase looks the best IMO.

Some of the reviewers on Amazon indicated they did not get the book which made me wary of placing an order. Looks nice though. People are also complaining the film is cut, but having never seen it before, I would not know.

Both the R1 and R2 discs have the British cut; the censor gave Anderson the choice of full frontal shots, a few seconds of boys in the shower or the Master's wife. He chose the latter - just moving the matting up a little sorted the problem.
