I'm surprised this is in the public domain (if it is).

I was searching for this film about 12 years ago (I like my old sci-fi films) and ended up buying a DVD from eBay as I couldn't find it on the usual pirate sites. However, I've just had a look and there's some better 1080p versions available now. Looks like it was released on Blu-Ray back in 2017.

For a long time, the only (official) DVD available was a pan-and-scan version that was not very good. The new Shout Factory Blu-Ray release I have is excellent and worth buying if you want the best possible version. I need to hunt down a copy of the book, which I've never read.

Yeah, I made sure that I bought the widescreen DVD version. Have now obtained the 1080p version, so I'll have to give it a rewatch.
