Poor image quality on DVD
I picked this up recently for $5, and it's a truly great film, but unfortunately, the DVD is atrocious.
I'm surprised at what poor condiiton the film is in...the film is from 1965, not even that old...the image is rife with dirt, debris and scratches and several scenes have a vertical line through the image...ugh. The film definitely could have benefitted from some remastering and digital repair.
On top of that, it took Paramount until 2004 to get this film out on DVD, and after all that wait, the DVD is totally bare bones - not even the theatrical trailer is included. I can almost understand it when some minor film gets such a release, but I can't believe that Paramount put so little effort into a release of such a great film. It's great that Paramount DVDs are so cheap generally ($9.99 list price or less), but honestly, I'd rather pay more for a quality release than end up with this.
