This was the only “R” rated movie I was ever able to talk my Mom into seeing with me (well, taking me to see it is more exact, as I couldn’t get in on my own at the time). We were mesmerized. I remember Mom commenting “He could bite me in the neck…” and I just about fell on the floor. I understand Badham’s desire to fulfill his “original vision”, but to enforce it for eternity after fans have already been bitten by the full color glory?? SACRILEGE!!

I would so love to be able to treat Mom to the version we saw originally. That it’s even a possibility due to another fan’s hard work and expertise is cause for celebration and a HUGE thank you!!!
