I watched the Region 1 DVD today and I think it needs a lot of work before it gets a Blu-ray release. What a great film and one of the better written sci-fi films ever made especially from that film era. One of the things I really noticed this morning with my latest viewing of this film is the film score. Dimitri Tiomkin strikes again! I hope to get my Region 2 DVD this week so I can compare the two video presentations.
