Having watched the supplements (simply done, but thank goodness none of the usual suspects in terms of participants - only Frayling and Eastwood, and very surprisingly, Monte Hellman, who charmingly recounts his participation in shooting the infamous network prologue), I can see now what a good job was done on the transfer - they didn't have the camera neg - they tried but it couldn't be gotten, so they went from two interpositives, if I remember correctly.
The one slightly strange thing to me is that, unless my eyes deceive me, either the shots for the extras are chosen very carefully, or they look a bit sharper than the actual DVD with the film. I have to go back and check some of the scenes to see if my eyes ARE deceiving me.
Anyway, bottom line - a pretty fantastic DVD all around. Congratulations to all who worked on it, and next up: For a Few Dollars More.
