The company concerned is Platinum Disc Corporation of La Crosse, WI, USA, & may God have mercy on them for having the nerve to put this out for public consumption. In fact, I can scarely believe this release is legal.
It's pan & scan, unsurprisingly, & appears to be region free. Pity the whole thing wasn't! It's such a shame that it's not a decent transfer as it's an excellent film. In fact, I was quite surprised to find so much music not on the original Warner Brothers LP. This is definitely a candidate for some enterprising company or person to re-record with alll the songs & musical bridges intact.
The film itself is very enjoyable with good performances from the entire cast, but special mention for Fiona Fullerton in the title role. She is magnificent, especiallly considering her limited experience at that stage of her career. One can only hope this film gets a legal release in the UK before too long. In the meantime, don't buy this version - it's a waste of money, even at this price!
