think twice!

I own the "Sergio Leone Anthology" DVD box set, which features "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" with only the 5.1 English audio option (the same edition as the "collector's edition"). As I already was aware of this (I wanted the extras and the other films), I also purchased the single DVD version of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", which is also available in the "Man with No Name" trilogy DVD box set, in order to have a copy with the original Mono English language soundtrack.

While the artwork for the newer edition / pressing of this single-disc "Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" still lists the audio as mono, the DVD menu only lists the 5.1 English soundtrack as an option. The original edition / pressing only offered the mono.

Either this option is an technical / editorial oversight that occurred during the re-packaging and re-pressing of the older DVD edition (and the artwork is still correct), or the DVD option is correct, and the artwork was mistakenly overlooked during repressing. Either way, this is an obvious oversight that should be amended.

The fact is that this is NOT the same printing or pressing as the original DVD of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" that was released in the late 1990's. The original pressing had a missing bit taken from the Italian release (not dubbed into English) -- the same bit that was re-dubbed by Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach for the re-release of the extended version, etc., etc., in the early 2000's (which led to the "collector's edition" DVD release).

This is a new pressing, with the audio "problem" noted above (which essentially means, and this is very significant for Leone fans, that there is currently NO in-print DVD pressing of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" available for purchase with the original mono soundtrack), and an accompanying commentary track that is the same as that offered on the "collector's edition"... and none of the original "special features" (such as the previously mentioned un-dubbed bit).

The publisher should have noted this difference by assigning it as a different release. I just got back from a local shop to purchase their last copy of the original release (because I do insist that the original Leone sound is something worth having). I just want customers to know what they're getting. I've tried emailing both MGM Home Video and amazon.com. We'll see if anything changes... May 15, 2008
