Lifeboat: Special Edition (1944) | R4 |
The Region 1 version of Lifeboat was released October 18, 2005, and is very similar to what we have been offered, with some important differences. Firstly, the Region 1 is only on a single, dual-layered disc, and comes with the same stereo audio track we have, but it also has the original monaural track. Since we only have the one track on the local disc, it should have been the mono. Most reviews indicate the same assessment of the video and audio transfers. The Region 1 also has a trailer and Spanish subtitles. However, the Region 4 comes off as the slightly better option: it is presented on two discs, which obviously will favour the bit rate of this transfer, and more importantly, it comes with the A Talk with Hitchcock extra. Unless you really want the mono track, the trailer, or the Spanish subtitles, stick with the local disc. |
