Kino Lorber 4k resto
Director: William Wyler
The Kino BD has additional extras but the Laserdisc still has exclusive extras and commentary not included on the Kino release. AVOID the MGM Blu-ray for the stretched aspect ratio error that was only finally corrected for the Kino Lorber reissue after much fan outcry.

Kino Lorber Blu-ray has original 1.85 aspect ratio, and better encoding but with a few caveats: some scenes are in a lower quality than the rest of the film see DVDBeaver
Make sure you have the replacement disc with correct location title card
