The Region 4 version of this DVD misses out on; - 8 trailers for other Humphrey Bogart movies
None of the reviews that I read on-line for the Region 1 version of this DVD mentioned MPEG artefacting. I would tread with caution on this one since none of the major Region 1 DVD review sites have reviewed this title and I am relying on the say-so of some of the minor sites. Rather than recommending one version or the other, in this case I feel it is best that I simply say: don't waste your money on the awful Region 4 version. If you know someone with the Region 1 version, borrow it first and check it out before buying. It may well be that the 50th anniversary NTSC laserdisc version, with its softer analogue image would be the version of choice of this movie, despite the annoying cross-colouration artefacts that it displays.
