There is quite a significant difference between the Region 1 release and what we have been given in Region 4. The principal difference is the Region 1 release has two versions of the film on the DVD: the 1946 theatrical release and the 1945 pre-release version. There is also a short documentary on the DVD detailing the differences. You may of course be wondering about the two versions of the film since the Region 4 chapter listing details the two versions of the film! That is an unbelievable error by Warners that cannot be condoned in any way. Sorry, but Region 1 is definitely the way to go here.
