Any way to the see ORIGINAL version?

This revisionist DVD stuff sounds dodgy to me. Is there any way to see the original version of the movie other than old VHS tapes?

Go to [email protected] and ask them to work on the Apu trilogy and Sholay.

I recently bought the VHS with the original audio and I've converted it to DVD. Now I'm in the process of marrying the original audio to the DVD video. I was so pissed off after recently watching the DVD with the HORRIBLE audio that I just had to make things right. At least for myself.

Too bad they're not commercially available . Maybe I'll have to do the same if I can find the old tape. I have little interest in watching the DVD again.

Does anybody know where to get the pre-release edit of the movie? Footage from it exists as "deleted scenes" and you can watch a slideshow of the entire thing on the 25th anniversary DVD.

Don't have a Beta player ;).

Go to Criterion and ask them to work on Satyajit Ray films, a good Kwaidan rerelease.

My brother was giving my father a hard time about buying it.
But it just may preove useful for this situation.
I also have a friend that has a duplication house, jerry can do Beta Transfers.

If I had to guess, I would conjecture that it was issues with getting the rights to the music, but I could be completely mistaken.

Partly a rights issue, and partly the original was so decayed they had to redo most of the sound and even some of the voices. Unless you have an original VHS, there isn't really any way to get the original sound. It wasn't so much revisionist as saving what they could.

if the master was that bad, couldn't they have found a VHS of it? it would have been cheaper than re-recording the audio track.

The music change was because of rights issues.

VHSes don't make good restoration material. They're already low quality.
