Title Best
Ipcress File, The (Blu-ray)=

    There is no current Blu-ray release in Region A and our Australian release is identical to the UK Region B release. So it is a draw as far as Blu-ray is concerned.

     Extras are another matter. There have been a number of Region 1 and Region 2 DVD releases of The Ipcress File. The best as far as extras is a 2 disc UK Region 2 release which has an audio commentary by Sidney J. Furie (Director) and Peter Hunt (Editor) on disc 1 plus a second disc of extras:

  • Interview with actor Michael Caine (21:10)
  • Interview with production designer Sir Ken Adam (10:31)
  • "Candid Caine" documentary (44:20)
  • "The Ipcress File: Michael Caine Goes Stella" comedy sketch (4:58)
  • Textless Material (4:14)
  • Stills Gallery (13:29)
  • 4 US Radio Commercials (2:48)

There are however reported problems with the video of this release involving contrast boosting and vertical compression so the Blu-ray is superior in this aspect. Which version to have comes down to your interest in the extras.
