Picture quality is great, as is the sound. There are no cuts whatsoever.

No probs. Although you might find you'll have a job on your hands tracking one down (for a price that isn't outrageous).

Go to amazon marketplace. I just got a great used copy for abt $20 including shipping.

The AB disc has an audio commentary by the director and editor. It's a pretty solid non-anamorphic transfer and runs 1.46.32. I don't know about the Hen's Tooth disc but i would be suprised if it was superior.

The Hen's Tooth is exactly the same transfer as the AB and has the same commentary track.

The dvd cover of The Hen's Tooth is much better. The Hen's Tooth one is the one to get, and probably much cheaper than a OOP version.

Maybe this information wasn't here when you posted your comment, but the IMDB page for this movie shows the run time as "98 min | 108 min (unrated)".

Interestingly, I just rented "Alice, Sweet Alice" from Netflix. It is the Hen's Tooth Video release, and it is 106:27 long. Now I wonder if a minute or so was cut from it?

Certainly the uncut version would be preferred.
