This movie has been released in a couple of formats in R1. There is a THX remastered version and another that was incorporated into a boxed set called WWII Collection. The differences between these and the R4 version are:
The R1 misses out on: - Dolby Digital 5.0 sound encoding
- Various subtitles (approx 10)
- Trailers for Patton and The Longest Day
The R4 misses out on: - 20 minute documentary, "Day of Infamy"
- English Dolby Digital 4.1 sound encoding
- THX certification
- Spanish Subtitles
- French Mono soundtrack
Since I own the R1 version, I can categorically state that the sound is almost the same, especially with my system which redirects the bass to the .1 channel anyway. The THX optimised sound would be a bonus for anyone with a full THX setup, but didn't add much in the way of difference. The documentary was interesting but not worth the extra cost involved. The R4 version has the superior picture in my opinion making this the version of choice.
