Which is the version I bought.

Yeah it's good.

It's not at all sleazy and both Bronson and George give good performances.

As a fan of both Bronson and Susan George, this looks like a good buy. How does the picture look? Looks like it's in 4:3.

It is in 4:3. I don't have any issue with it. Here's a screen grab or two from my dvd if you are interested. There's the odd speck of dirt here and there but it didn't stop me liking the film.

Then again i'm not one of those who thinks everything should be on blu-ray or not at all.

There's a nice interview with George as an extra from a Russell Harty show.

It looks fine, Dem. The Network dvd is the best presentation apparently.

And i'm not a slave to blu-ray either. Still buy dvds as well. Found loads of gems , again from Network, that look great upscaled.

There are so many really good films Network released that aren't on blu that as you say look great upscaled.

Have you checked their site recently, Crimson? There are some gems at £3.15 delivered thanks to their new pricing system.

I have, Dem. Some better deals on there that beat Amazon. Twinky, for £3.54, including postage, is a no-brainer at that price.
