39 steps question

dicanio (Elite) posted this on Tuesday, 6th January 2004, 12:04

I was wondering if the Region 2 version is any good. What is the print like. Is it better to get the criterion version? I really dont want to spend that much on it

Regards,
:p:p:p D-I-C-A-N-I-O :p:p:p

I`ve not seen anything except the Criterion disc so all I can say is that since this one is a cleaner print than any other version, the others must be average. The CC version also has more extras, if that`s your thing, including the complete radio play version and an audio commentary.

As far as just plain DVDs go, I think a standard R2 edtn would be acceptable if you were after just the film itself.

HTH

That`s a good point, I`d forgotten there are quite a few different ones out there. Hitch all the way!

I heard they were remaking it in a modern version. If I remember correctly it is going to be called `The Lift`. :p

I just got the R1 cheapo version from DVD Pacific for about £1.50. ;)
I haven`t seen the Criterion print, but MichaelDVD claims its nothing to shout about.
