Does anyone out there own this title? How is the quality? Can anyone post some shots? I am considering purchasing. Thanks!

I do not personally own it, but I have heard from a number of people who do own it. I believe that it was put out by CHC awhile back, and apart from a little negative wear at the reel changes, the color, sharpness and all are very good and remember, it's in scope!

I've only seen one on offer over the past few years. Hard to find, so I'd imagine, expensive. Probably not $1825, though... but who knows? [Eek!]

Dirt and specks at each reel change, title and crawl are in german. Otherwise, good scope print.

It was actually put out by the German dealers in the early to mid 90's. I got mine new from Perry's from the first batch of prints that came into the UK.

The master damage around the reel changes is the worst I think I've seen on this title but I was happy to finally get a full length copy of the film.
