That stuff on ebay is really expensive! I wonder what's the story behind it, how they retrieved such rare photographs (one of the sellers is from Germany so they must have travelled a bit).

I'm still hoping to find some friend who, by chance, has THX on VHS because on Ebay Italy people have stopped selling VHS and if they do they cost a small fortune. The only other option is to phone up a far-away-up-in-the-north public library, ask them to play the tape for me and tell me what's the beginning of the film like!

A very uncomfortable thing to ask over the phone to some unknown librarian.

Anyway I keep my hopes up. From what I can understand we're not in any particular hurry, I trust that I will eventually find a VHS of this film (so allowing us to have a better quality version and finally confirm if the film was released in Italy with the flashback or not).

It's a little disheartening I can see more fine detail in what erri_wan sent me.

What other small differences did you notice from the Italian version Silver?
