I've been searching FOREVER for this. finally got a great region 1 DVD for u.s from santaflix dot com . great picture and sound. widescreen. recommended highly.
I'm surprised more people in this country don't know what a great movie this is. My favorite Oliver Reed film.
Got mine from ioffer, and the entire presentation is exquisite. What an addition to my collection.

Great news! But is the quality better than the very disappointing German version as sold by Amazon?
shareI have the best US version. Send me a PM.
But have a look, dude did an excellent job: http://www.ioffer.com/i/the-trap-oliver-reed-rita-tushingham-1966-4982 13890

We're both right. I followed your iOffer link and ordered a copy. It arrived today.
It turned out to be an exact binary copy of the version that I created in January 2011, using an Avisynth script that I wrote to correct the color, sharpen the image, and increase the color intensity.
In 2011, I uploaded a copy to YouTube. I had to split it into three parts due to the YouTube 2GB file-size limitation.

The guy obviously obtained a copy from one of my dvd-trading buddies. I'm not upset that he is selling my version. After all, I'm not doing anything with it. I don't have the time nor inclination to sell it. So, kudos to him for making it widely available.
I need to thank both of you for your efforts...you for getting the film out there and him for assembling an excellent DVD package.
I doubt that an "official" release could improve much upon this one.
I wonder if the DVD the OP bought is the same transfer.

There's no official DVD release for this yet. Bootleggers doesn't count.
shareI liked it a lot too.
