Robert- Well said!
"WestWorld" is one of my favorite movies, and I bought the 3 parter back in 1980 when it was released on super 8. The digest is excellent, but after watching a long digest like this, you would REALLY expect more than just a fade out and "THE END" .
I also thought they should have put the "DELOS" promo commercial at the begining of the digest, like it is in the original movie, which explains the park well, and then ties up perfectly at the end of the movie when the sole survivor (Benjamin) sits back, beat up and exhausted, as he remembers that promo from the beginning..."So visit us today, Boy, have we got a vacation for you, (echo) for you-for you-for you-you-you-you.......... .
Now THAT is a perfect ending, and would have added about a minute onto the digest, but what a difference!
But, in spite of these things lacking, its still a good digest if you are a big WESTWORLD fan.
In reference to color quality, mine is still O.K. (it was just O.K. when I bought it new).
Oh,did I mention, it should have been letterboxed or released in scope too.
Sorry Robert, I never saw the 400 foot version, but, I remember reading a film review for WestWorld back in the early 80's, and I think I remember the review saying that there were no additional scenes on the 400 footer . I believe the review was in "Super 8 Reader", a monthly put out by L.A. Films (remember them).
