One Eyed JacksMarlon Brando’s lone directorial effort has long been given the shaft. A bad print has been floating around for years. It did get a cheap blu-ray release but they did nothing to clean it up. I don’t know if anything from the mountains of footage Brando filmed survives, but it would be cool if cut scenes could be shown. Interesting stories about the film could make a great featurette and the movie itself. How nice it would be to finally see it cleaned up and restored to its original luster. I haven't seen the Criterion Blu-ray yet, but I caught the restored (no new footage, just cleaned up) version on the big screen in London last year. This film now looks absolutely gorgeous!

Yeah I want that Napoleon as well. (I've seen it, but never the way it was intended) One Eyed JacksMarlon Brando’s lone directorial effort has long been given the shaft.

I've got the disc and couldn't be happier. It was like seeing the movie for the first time
