Region 4 Winners and Losers

    This film does not appear to be available in Region 1 at present.

    The UK Region 2 release is a re-release of the 1993 "60th Anniversary" VHS edition, using a restored 1971 print of the film. It includes a half-hour "making of" documentary and some text notes.

    There are two releases available in Brazil, one of which is taken from a colourised VHS tape and the other is a bootleg of a laserdisc edition. I could not recommend either of these.

    There are two Region 2 editions from Spain, one of which is black and white and the other colourised.

    There is a Region 3 release available from Korea, which seems to be taken from a laserdisc release. So is the Hong Kong Region 3, which has some hilarious misspellings and poor grammar on the slick.

    I would have to recommend the UK Region 2 as the best edition of this film at present, though hopefully in the not-too-distant future we will get the Warners Special Edition.
