<p>By the way, the Special Edition for DVD in Italy was redubbed to have a 5.1 audio. This also happened for Jaws, Superman and many other classics. There was an uproar of fans when they were trying to do it with Star Wars and Indiana Jones... but local stories aside, I'm trying to find out who the heck dubbed this film so if they are still alive I might ask directly (if they remember) what's the deal with this narration off-screen.

Could it be taken from the novelization? Has anyone read it?</p>
