Comments:	The Manga DVD is washed out, hazy, saturated, cropped and the colors are off. I don't think you need any other reason to buy the Carlton, but if you do, it has a commentary by Jack Cardiff. The Carlton is the definitive DVD for this film right now. The Manga's Spanish subs are forced when the audio is English. Stay away from the Manga! - Gary W. Tooze
