The quality is amazing. You have to watch it. I have the laserdisc of the roadshow version and this one does a great job of tweaking that video with the BD material. It is inexcusable that the studio has allowed the materials to deteriorate. They existed well into the home video era when the value of "catalog" titles became clear. Hawaii is another film where there seems to be no interest in producing a high definition version of the original cut, leaving us with just the laserdisc version. Considering some of the terrible films that seemingly have enough appeal to make them financially viable releases I do not understand the lack of interest. I have heard that one reason for this lack of interest in restoring original versions is that foreign language soundtracks for them no long exist, reducing their appeal in other markets.
