albert 9th Jun 2016		Great release of this film by Image Entertainment. I'm English and had seen the film on TV at least a couple of times, I was intrigued that the ending had been changed for the UK so specifically sought out this DVD when I came to add it to my collection. Happily you can watch either version of the film and now I think I prefer the original ending.



George Slv 9th Jun 2016		Review Wade Williams, a US theater owner, searched for a print of the movie in the 1970s and found only one at a Los Angeles TV station, and bought it. The original negative had had the ending cut off in order to make a different UK ending, and then that end strip was lost. This 35mm film has some scratches, and it was not processed and restored for this release. It is now stored in controlled vaults with other classic films. Williams went on to refilm the story in 1986 with Toby Hooper. In 2002 he released this 50th Anniversary DVD of his 1953 film. There are mixed feelings about it because the film imperfections can spoil the enjoyment. There are many 16mm films of it around America and some have been used to issue a couple of tape releases without imperfections. I've read that the film is public domain, but I'd like confirmation. Oh, you ask about the movie. Yes it was damn good. Yes color. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
