Just watched the OHMSS LD.

Oh gosh, does this film get better every time!

The last time I watched this was in a screening room with the old SE DVD last year. This beats that despite the lesser resolution. The colors are properly balanced unlike the SE which was boosted and edge enhanced. But the big draw is the fact that to my knowledge this is the only fully uncut version of the film. As FF has previously said, the dialogue is in the right places (even Tracy's line "How do we get out?") and all the scenes are in the right order. The sound is really great on this digital track and boy was it a treat to hear OHMSS in PCM!! The score shines even brighter and the subtle nuances of the dialogue are well heard as compared to the lossy Dolby 2.0. I compared this to the DVD and I think for the most part the two used the same source. The SE disc in the SE boxsets supposedly had the errors corrected so I guess that means another one to track down.

This one is stunning though. As one of the later pressed titles (1991) it comes off better than the 89 discs I have and closer to the superior quality Connery collection pressings (1993). And the side breaks are very well done.

I'll have to dig out my 1995 letterbox vhs to compare any differences.
