Paramount UK Sleuth re-release
 

Does anybody have any substantial info on Paramount UK's somewhat under-the-radar April 29 re-release of the original 1972 version? So far I haven't been able to find one review or even basic info on specs. I want to know all the good stuff: Is it a port of the transfer from the oop anamorphic Anchor Bay edition, or a new one? Are there any new extras? Completely bare bones? If I had to take a guess, I'd say it's a new, better-looking transfer on a completely bare bones disc. Just a hunch. But I'd love to know.

According to retail sites, it has the featurette from the Anchor Bay and anamorphic widescreen. that's all I could gather

Someone over at DVDForums (UK) says the new R2UK re-release are totally barebone.

I found that thread over at the Dvdforums. Appears it is in fact bare bones. Disappointing, but pretty much what I expected. I do still wonder if it's a new transfer, though. Oh well, I think I'll scoop it up anyway.

Guess, I´ll stick with the re-release as well. Not worth it getting the R1 OOP.

I ordered it from Amazon UK and watched it last night. Just verifying it is completely bare bones, not even a trailer. But the transfer doesn't look bad at all. What is sort of bizarre is that the transfer is anamorphic but the opening credits are fully windowboxed at about 1.66:1, where as the rest of the film is full 1.78:1 / 1.85:1 (not sure which due to my tv's overscan). Does anyone know if the Anchor Bay disc was like this (the second release, not their original 1.66:1 non-anamorphic disc) ? I think that would show if this is the same transfer or a new one.
