This out-of-print 1975 Ken Russell film has still not had an official DVD release. This rip is a transfer from the digitally remastered widescreen laserdisc. The film was shot in a very wide aspect ratio (2.40:1?) so this widescreen transfer is a million times better than all other video releases--there\\\'s almost 50% more image presented. The laserdisc is also the only time the complete uncut version of the film has been released: this version includes the post-end credit exit music.



This rip is taken directly from the laserdisc using a Panasonic DVD recorder. There are random chapters that were put in by the recorder. Sorry....no fancy menus or artwork. The short pause at 57:04 is the side change, not a DVD error.
