I haven't seen the MGM version of SotL, but damn! does the Criterion version have a lot of digital artifacting. Only a few of their dvd's have more (of course, I've only seen about half of them).

Just a quick comment (I didn't get a chance to read Rouslan's latest comments before they were removed. . . too bad) about the 400 blows. Whether or not you think the 400 Blows is Truffaut's best film, I think it's pretty hard to argue that it is not only his most important film, but also one...
