Video:
Unfortunately the encode on this leaves a lot to be desired, grain is splotchy and artifacted. Hopefully another publisher picks this up, because neither Kino's HD nor UHD sport very good encodes.
Audio:
Paramount's mono track is the best sounding of the bunch, set to default, unfortunately only available as a lossy AC-3. It's labeled as 'restored', and seems to be a new mixdown of audio stems, with variable noise reduction (it is not a downmix from 5.1).
Universal and Studio Canal have the original mix, with slightly worse fidelity. Studio Canal (both GBR and GER discs are identical) is a lossy transcode, other than opening music which seems to be spliced from a different source. Universal was missing a few chunks of audio (about 20 seconds), those were seamlessly spliced in from Studio Canal. Universal is 16-bit, only the trimmed out modern intro is 24-bit (see log).
Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, the 2.0 track from Kino Lorber is a stereo downmix.
The surround track a remix from the stems, with music replaced with higher quality sources. Sourced from Paramount, as KL is the same but padded 16-bit instead of 24.
