This film has been released in Region 1 by Anchor Bay. In comparison to the Region 1, the Region 4 misses out on: - audio commentary by Roy Ward Baker, Christopher Lee and Marcus Hearn
- photo and poster gallery
- biographies
- four page collector's booklet
The first 10,000 copies of the Region 1 DVD also get a second disc featuring: - documentary: The Many Faces of Christopher Lee (50 minutes)
- music video: O Sole Mio/It's Now or Never sung by Christopher Lee with Gary Curtis
- music video: She'll Fall For Me spoken by Christopher Lee with Gary Curtis
In comparison to the Region 4, the Region 1 misses out on: The Region 1 transfer is apparently of the same quality as the Region 4, so on the basis of the extras the Region 1 is clearly the winner. In case you are wondering, Lee had some training and experience in opera, and apparently he is quite a good singer. There is also a Region 2 French release with the same commentary, trailer, photo gallery and biographies as the Region 1, but which also has an optional French soundtrack and optional French subtitles, plus an introduction by Jean-Pierre Dionnet and production notes. This version would also be a winner over the Region 4, but not in preference to the Region 1.
