The cover art for the DVD was indeed similar to the VHS edition. Someone here at HTF actually picked up a stray copy of that DVD. I don't like the colour white very much; I don't know why, so don't ask me!
Amazon have just notified that Julia will now be released on February 7th. There is no information on extras but, as the release was delayed from last summer, I'm hoping that they might include a commentary by Jane Fonda and/or Vanessa Redgrave. It would be great if they managed to get them together.
Anyway, it will be good to have this excellent film available on DVD at last.
