You'll probably notice improved color on your movies now. I have only had one cataract removed, and now my two eyes see slightly different colors. Cataracts cause the lens to turn yellow-ish. I only notice it if I close one eye and then look though the other one. I will be glad when the doc says...
I agree about the Criterion cover art being poor, but wasn't the MGM special edition DVD the one with the equally poor cover featuring Steve McQueen on a motorcycle looking like...Steve McQueen rather than Virgil Hilts?
