Universal PAL DVD (caveat: it's missing a minute of footage, plus usual PAL speed-up)
All Blu-ray tracks originate from the same transfer, but with strong noise gating and terrible EQ, adding a compensatory bass and treble boost, sounding boomy and accentuating the hiss despite less detail.

Indicator 4K Blu-ray. Essentially the same characteristics as The Gentle Gunman but as the film is generally softer even in OCN-sections, it's not as drastic an upgrade
