Editor's Notes

Note

Arrow's 4K Limited Edition ships July 27, 2026 with a new 4K restoration from the 35mm camera negative, Dolby Vision, and the MGM Tribute to Edward G. Robinson on disc. The collector's booklet has new writing and the slipcover artwork is reversible. The 1973 dystopia has never had a true 4K presentation, and the picture has carried for fifty years on a soft DVD master.
