Kino's licensing deal with MGM (the current MGM entity, which is largely made up of United Artists productions; the grand old MGM studio library belongs to Warner) gives them access to the new high - definition masters from a portion of the catalog as well as access to elements to create new HD masters, plus access to select supplements from previous disc releases.

This Blu - ray ports over most of the bonus features found on previous discs, including the original 19 - minute making - of featurette from the DVD and a commentary track with Lee and writer / producer James Schamus, who does a good job of leading his counterpart through a conversation about the film.

Still, if you're a fan and you want all the extras, you'll either have to keep one of the previous discs or wait for a better Blu - ray edition. (thedigitalbits.com)
