The UK finally sees a DVD edition of Cool Hand Luke on February 13th - almost a staggering nine years after the region 1 release. It looks like a bare bones affair, which is very disappointing. But will it have an all-new transfer, at least? The Australian region 4 edition is NTSC, not PAL. From what I have read, the region 1 and 4 editions, although anamorphic, are typical of the old Warner days: fairly sharp in close-up; no digital clean-up/colour-correction; grainy, etc. Nothing like their exemplary efforts today. This was a landmark film and its popularity endures strongly and a 2-disc SE would be a big seller.
Here's the Amazon.co.uk listing.
Any thoughts?
