Anyone know anything concrete about this? I heard the International cut (100m) was also included (as well as the Italian print). Can't find any good info on-line. Seems no one has reviewed this disc.

well,looking at the case in virgin today it clearly states italian version (123 minutes) and english version (100 minutes) 4.3 regular. by this i assume the italian version is widescreen,the english fullframe.

Hmm... I don't like the 126m Italian version. Too long, boring. Don't need the extraneous character comedy.

The International cut (supervised by Argento himself) runs a tighter, more managable 105m. I was hoping that would be 2.35. Guess not?

unless they mean by 4.3 regular it's widescreen but non-anamorphic? warner used to label their early dvd releases this way.

Could be...? No reviews yet and I'm certainly not taking any chances.

I have a couple of the early Warners releases (Batman, The Specialist) that are marked as "regular", but are actually anamorphic widescreen. So don't believe the packaging!! 8)

I've since heard that the new DVD includes a 16:9 uncut version of the theatrical cut. Will be buying this. Hope the info is accurate.
