I have the original Polygram release that is non-anamorphic and has a totally washed out transfer. I believe that MGM has repackaged this quite a few times without any improvement to the picture quality.
Now that they are releasing a 40th anniversary edition, I was wondering if anyone has managed to get their hands on an early copy. I would be curious to hear if the new edition does have an improved anamorphic transfer. This movie happens to be among my all-time favorites and not many here would dispute it's inclusion on any list of all-time great movies. And so there is simply no excuse for it to be available only in a sub-par transfer 10 years after the introduction of the DVD format.
