| Notes | Spanish dialogue (at least in the beginning) has burnt-in English subtitles |
No English subtitles for the few Spanish parts. This was the first MGM DVD to come out, I do not know but suspect the later ones in other countries should look about the same. |

To change between pictures take your mouse cursor over the links and wait for a while for the picture to change (will depend a lot on your connection speed). By clicking on the links you can see bigger images which help spotting the quality difference between the two discs. Blu-Ray is of course of much higher quality (but I’m sure could be much better). In screenshot #3 the tree behind the horse is missing some detail on the Blu-Ray disc (blown-out whites?).
There are some very minor cropping differences (Blu-Ray is missing info from the sides) and some serious color differences between the releases. I don’t claim to know which one is the correct one. I wonder if the later MGM DVDs in other countries had the same color scheme as the Japanese disc?
