Hard to believe its been that long since this Classic had been released;

-For years i rated this my all-time movie fave !

-it holds up beautifully after all these yrs.

-the music is unsurpassed !

-the f \ x still possess a charm all its own

-its still very much imaginary

-what a superb cast !

-the locales work

-the humor is wonderfully integrated(Dahl + Mason)

-Thayer is a darn good villain: quite wily

-the remakes prove how good this version is-superior

-etc.etc.etc

While the DVD looks great what we NEED is a blueray version with commentary by the actors.

Well, a sequel is being planned for that dreadful recent version -- which somehow made a lot of money -- so hopefully Fox has a Blu-ray edition in the pipeline right now.

...we certainly require extras:commentaries(Dahl,Boone,Baker,etc.)for example.

This is a classic and ought to be treated as such ! Biggest box-office hit of '59 for instance.

Its never been equaled although many attempts have been made in the last half century or so....
