Editor's Notes

Note

S-Tier from Radiance's Transmission sublabel, new 4K scan of the original camera negative with Dolby Vision. A massive upgrade over the old Severin Blu-ray, which had gone out of print and was fetching inflated prices on eBay for years. People who held off on the Severin are feeling vindicated. Peter O'Toole is completely unhinged in this and the production history behind the film is almost as wild as the movie itself. Region-free UHD disc, region B locked Blu-ray. Includes the original mono track and Severin's 5.1 remix, plus two commentary tracks.
