The scene where Merrick is invited to Dr. Treve's house for dinner and cries upon meeting his wife. The line "I'm not used to being treated so well by a beautiful woman" gets me every single time. What a deeply powerful scene. I saw this film in the theater upon release and it has never left me.

The original Canal Blu had interesting packaging. A very thin heavy paper jacket, without a spindle. The disc was held in place by a circle of double stick tape. Which on my example is no longer sticking.

Mine isn’t sticking either... but as for the packaging, it’s a digi-book and very nicely made, aside from the spider hub.
