I seriously wouldn't bother. Zero work was done on the actual film itself. While the extras are nice the serious restoration the film needs was not done. Every scratch and piece of crap that can be on the film is there warts and all. Zero out of 10 for restoration work. Arrow or Criterion they are not. I can only assume that after getting the rights to press the film they had no money left to do anything else. Same with their Amicus collection. Nice extras but zero restoration done.
