Well this is quite the comedy of errors. Both editions are sloppy. Although The Fox-Lorber image is slightly better, it has burned in subtitles. As the times are the same for both editions, one must suffer from "ghosting" inherent when we have PAL (or NTSC) transfer from NTSC (or PAL). Our investigation shows it is the Fox-Lorber, but I didn't notice any effects when watching or doing screen captures. I don't think it really matters as neither of these editions is acceptable. I realize Rohmer shot a lot of his work in 16mm (although this is 35mm), but I have Super 8's that are 30 years old that look sharper.  The Arrow Films has the superior Extras and removable English subtitles. This is all quite is disappointing to me as I am a big Rohmer fan. I will eventually be comparing Arrow Films other Rohmer offerings but this does not look good. I can't recommend either... Buy the VHS if it is cheaper till someone somewhere eventually does this film some justice.

NOTE: From Per-Olof:

Is it possible that if Fox Lorber have converted their DVD from
PAL>NTSC, and then Arrow Films borrowed the NTSC master-tape from them and once again converted it back from NTSC>PAL. The Arrow has more trouble and seems like "a copy".
