I don't know why it's that stupid price at Amazon, it's only £10 instore at HMV (as is 55 Days).

Yep I got mine too. Cheap looking package & no English subtitles. Anchor Bay have gone to no trouble at all with this, but the film looks & sounds great. I keep all my Blu's in a large draw (but it's getting a bit full these days), so not that bothered about the cover.

Thanks for that Oliver, I'll wait & get the UK release. The sixties, my favourite decade for movies (my teen years). 55 Days has its dramatic problems, but it looks great, fantastic sets & amazing music score, I love it. It's early in the year & already there's, 55 Days At Peking, The War Lord...

Yeah, it was big! Let's not forget that if you saw those films on the telly then, it was 4x3 on a small screen...& mono!

I saw Ben-Hur at the Casino Cinerama in Old Compton Street, I think it was around 1970. All I can remember of it is how bad the model ships looked on the really big screen. I also saw The Last Valley there a few years later, stunning!

Ah, the Sony HDcam SR. I was using that about five years ago, I just about got the hang of setting the menu (which I found a bit complicated), & then never used it again. I was told at the time that it would be the last ever tape format, & they were right.

Apparently they're the same, both come from a 2K scan transfer done at Pinewood, according to someone over at Blu-ray.

Ah, I don't think we're going to know that until they're released & someone reports.

This was reported by someone over at Blu-ray.com but no link. I'm not surprised there's no pre-order yet, it is over three months away.
