1980 special version.
Mike Quigley (a02632@giant.rsoft.bc.ca) comments: "Overall, I am VERY disappointed. The picture seems to have an excess of green (though examination of a TV tape I made of the "combined" edition shows the original was far from perfect), and the sound is shrill, to say the least (especially on the final CAV side). The "Dolby Surround" in this film is more than primitive, it is a joke!"
