We need a Blu-ray release


This movie so needs a hi-def release from the roadshow Super Panavision 65mm with overture, intermission and exit music and the Cinerama logo at the beginning. The last right holder was MGM that release it on DVD without the music, no cinerama logo (the Anchor Bay version had). Neither version has an anamorphic transfer and the MGM DVD was missing a scene between Brian Keith and Barbara Werle (again the Anchor Bay release had). To me this would be a great Flicker Alley release if they could get the rights and elements including the 6 track audio. I was lucky enough to see this as a child when released and it looked incredible!

Agree. Just watching it now on Amazon Prime movies. No overture but did have the Cinerama logo at the start.
Looks like it's the shortened version of about 1hour 45 minutes. No intermission.
Edit. Looks like there is a Blu Ray version on Amazon which is 2 hours 11 minutes in length so maybe complete.
