It has been a looong time since I have watched the Anchor Bay DVD of this. I don’t remember being that impressed, especially (I’m guessing) the Theatrical ending with the horrible blue screening with Jeff hanging off the building (not going to say what happens, but the FX are quite bad). It would be interesting to rewatch it, especially following it with the new edit.
Is this the Kino Lorber or Indicator Series (Region 2) Blu-ray? Thanks for the info.

Interesting. I wonder what they cut for the re-issue. This political tale seems topical atm. John Huston is an incredible presence. Have heard good things about this since it hit blu.
