Hallelujah! I hope they've restored it properly. The UK DVD is not very good. This movie deserves the full treatment

Good to see. I really hope they manage to include the commnetary missing from the previous UK dvd release.

If it's like the version i watched on ITV4 HD, then yes it will be a great transfer.

It's a great new master from the negative.

Check the review at DVD Beaver.com

It's certainly a very detailed and well balanced transfer, but someone has tweaked the colour scheme to give it a strong sepia tint, which it never had in the cinema and which at times drains all other colours.

I agree with you. I have a 35mm print and know how
different that BD master looks in comparison :(
But last week I watched some minutes on a 100inch TV
and just was fascinated by the quality. Nevertheless
it's not perfect (sepia).
