El Cid (Umbrella Ent) | R1 |
The best available version of El Cid is the fabulous Region 1 two disc Miriam Collection. On disc 1 is the first part of the film, a commentary with Bill Bronston (son of producer Samuel Bronson) and Neal M. Rosendorf (historian and biographer of Samuel Bronson), vintage radio interviews with Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren, still galleries and filmographies. On disc 2 the film and commentary continues plus the following excellent features (I do own this edition!):
If your system supports Region 1 DVDs, this is the edition of choice. If not, our Region 4 at least is a good presentation of this epic film, far better than the previous Region 4 span and scan abomination. |
