Lodger, The (Directors Suite) | R1 |
The Lodger has been released in the United Kingdom, Region 2 by Network Video. The first time was in a 2008 boxset, Hitchcock: The British Years with 10 other British Era Hitchcock films, the second time was a stand-alone 2012 version which has the same transfer as the 2008 release.
In my opinion the best version of The Lodger is the Region 1, 2008 US release by MGM Home Entertainment. This includes the same restored transfer as the Region 4 Directors Suite release, with the same two scores and the Radio Play, however, the Region 1 release also includes an audio commentary by historian Patrick McGilligan, a 24-minute The Sound of Silence: The Making of The Lodger documentary, a restoration comparison, an interview with Peter Bogdanovich and Francois Truffaut, a short 4-minute featurette with Mary Stone on the film and a 22 image gallery.
The Hitchcock Wiki has excellent references to the various DVD releases of The Lodger. Check out the Region 1 MGM release, the Region 2 Network release and comparison screenshots for yourself! |
