1.The first time I saw part of BR was on TV with lots of ads and I got bored and switched away. Then finally seeing the Director's cut on DVD was a confusing revelation. I loved the movie but it didn't mesh with the parts I had already seen. Why? Because the channel was showing a hacked up TV edit of the 82 theatrical cut.

3.To the best of my knowledge the Lowry prints typically use the original track for the theatrical showings. (At least that's from my experience.) I don't exactly recall if they had the MGM logo, but I know they would have to have the new UA logo.

If it had the old one it would either be a slipup or an original. If it looked pristine, very clear, and somewhat bluish then it's the Lowry. Wait-the easiest way to tell comes just as the credits end. A black screen appears with the project operators from Lowry.
