No where near as good as I was expecting it to be, I wasn't really consintrating so I had no idea what was going on!
I agree with the below, the soundtrack is truly AWFUL! I think there's a high pitched synthetic 'drone' for about half the film! It ruins it completely. There are other DVDs with the original score around. For some reason coloured hues have also been added to some shots, seemingly at random, which really cheapens it. Modern titles have had very cheap 'ageing' effects put over the top. There's no option to watch it as it was intended.
Thumbs down to Eureka entertainment for mucking about a classic. The version available for free on google video is better. Boo.
There are websites which compare the prints and scores of DVD releases.
