This film is available on DVD in several regions.
The UK Region 2 DVD from Pathe appears to be the same transfer as the Region 4, as far as I can tell.
The Region 1 DVD is from MGM/UA and is a different transfer to the Region 4. The excessive colour saturation is not present on the Region 1 DVD, but from screenshots I have seen it looks very washed out. Reviews of this disc refer to artefacting not present in the Region 2 transfer, and also that it may have been cropped. There is a comparison with screenshots available here. Note also that this transfer is not 16x9 enhanced.
There is a French Region 2 release as well. Second hand reports indicate that this is a better transfer than in other regions, plus it has substantial extras including interviews with the director and cinematographer. Unfortunately this release has no subtitles, not even French.
On the basis of the above, no-one is the winner, so I will call this a draw.
