Paramount DVD from UCLA restoration
Paramount DVD
Paramount's DVD is from the UCLA photochemical restoration. It remains the highest quality video release of the film which is long overdue for a new transfer and could vastly improve in a new restoration as Sony proved with their 4K restorations of the Ranown Cycle. The DVD does have extensive well done supplements and is still essential. A French BD was released in late 2024 and an earlier Japanese BD exists but their transfer sources are unknown. Reviews on Amazon France seem to indicate the BD is a poor version of the DVD's HD master source.
