That thread is not a release thread...just a conjecture thread. And my info comes from email PR I received from WHV....

So its due around 7th April 2015.

Will this be a Dolby Stereo 4.2.4. or Dolby TrueHD 5.1 remaster mix?

The framing 1.33:1 or 1.85:1 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083064/technical?ref_=tt_dt_spec

Oh hope it has 0 DNR 0 EE 0 messing around with colour.

First saw on VHS rental around 1982.

Assuming atfree's information is correct, FINALLY!!As a young US Marine, I absolutely loved Rachel Ward. What a beautiful sophisticated lady. And I kinda wanted to work for Victor (Vittorio Gassman) with all those gorgeous ladies.

Great news. My favourite Burt Reynolds movie along with "The Longest Yard".

Day 1 purchase for me.

It was already confirmed over a year ago on the WAC Facebook page that the planned blu-ray will be in its correct widescreen OAR. Same with Hooper.

andySu · Dec 10, 2014

Oh so W/S framing that would look nice. I only seen recent upload on youtube in 1.33:1 Dolby Stereo and mix sounds cool as the VHS player was linear mono when I saw in 1981.

bronson · Dec 11, 2014

I already have the movie in widescreen 1,85:1(Australian anamorphic DVD) but will replace it after the Blu-ray announcement.

Kyrsten Brad · Dec 11, 2014

I have the DVD as well. The Blu will be a big improvement.

Excellent crime flick. I have the dvd but will definitely upgrade to BD.

bronson · Dec 12, 2014

And Rachel Ward never looked better as in this movie.

Got mine on release day. Very pleased. Picture and sound both very very good. Finally glad to see it in the correct aspect ratio.
