Last I heard, the print with the alternate scenes was misplaced following mastering of the laserdisc and Fox was unable to locate it. Not sure if that's changed or not, but I'd love to have the British cut with less of Pat Boone's singing, for the sake of showing the film to friends of this day and age.

Given the way Fox has been treating their CinemaScope titles lately, I'm scared that this 'restoration' will have an ugly bluish look not authentic to original release, like the BDs of Carousel and The King and I suffer from (which has been oh so heavily discussed lately). I really hope they get it right, because I didn't buy the first release.

Regardless, I am absolutely psyched for this release and will be preordering it on day one of the pre-order period. I won't miss it this time!
