just got the usa blu, great all round but have forgot the overture but has the
exit music.
I first saw this in 70mm 6-track at the now gone Astoria cx road in london as part of a 2 week showing of 70mm films before it closed as a cinema.

UK version also has NO OVERTURE took it back to HMV.

I still don't own either the DVD or the BD. I'm still trying to decide whether to get the older DVD release with the overture, or pick up the BD with no overture, but with the DTS-HD audio...

MacEachaidh · 11-08-2012, 05:15 PM

Has the BD been remastered, or does it still have no Overture — anyone know?

I hadn't heard anything about a remaster, so I'm quite certain the current version still does not contain the opening overture.

Last year, I debated on whether to buy this or not based on that fact, but caved and bought it. The exclusion of the overture is unfortunate, but I was thoroughly pleased with the audio and video quality from this release.

Hmmm. Pity about the Overture, but good to know the transfer is decent. OK Coligion, many thanks for your help.
