....only a heavily cropped NTSC square box screen VHS. I don't think it's even avaliable on DVD. THey spent alot of money on it. A whole village was constructed in Northern Ireland and the production design by Steven Grimes was wonderful. Photography by Freddy Young. One of the last films photographed in Super Panavision 70mm. The parasite critics hated it and someone at the studio got cold feet. GR

The laserdisc is the theatrical version but it IS letterboxed. The storm sequence is breathtaking. This one has grown on me over time and I now accept Mitchum, a part I had trouble with originally.
