Thanks for the tip! It'll be interesting finally seeing this with an audience.

Still, a DVD would be welcome too; perhaps in Fox's revived Film Noir Collection (in which they include a few un-noirish widescreen color films).

I agree! This needs desperately to be on DVD!

Just saw it at the Forum yesterday and it was great. The crowd was older but there were some great reactions and applause at the end. Not bad for 4:40 in the afternoon.

The film has definately been remastered and you can actually see the remastering effect at reel changes where it looks like they didn't remaster the first 2-3 seconds. Odd but interesting to see how much better they can make a film look with current technology. That probably means a dvd release is on the way very soon so keep you eyes peeled.

I just saw VS at the Forum this evening (its last) -- big crowd, of many ages, and they seemed to really get into it (this was the 6:30 showing). The new print is good, so let's hope this is indeed a precursor to a DVD release sometime in the very near future.
