PICTURE
QUALITY
The picture is presented in 4:3
letterboxed non-anamorphic widescreen. The
colour pallete is as presented at the cinema
unlike later iterations of this film. |
|
The 4:3 presentation limits the picture
quality somewhat but this was early
days for the DVD format. Sound is PCM Stereo
only |

|
EXTRAS
Only the trivia stuff, no trailer, no
subtitles |
|

SUMMARY
The one thing this
disc has going for it is that it presents
the original cinema
version of the film, along with the French DVD, the only discs that do. The
US and new
European disc contain extra scenes and some sorely
missed omissions.
