Review Detail

Looks and sounds excellent, the one cut made was not noticeable, though I am not sure whether it makes for a better or worse film. The stated aim was to substitute the original's suspense for surprise and one is certainly left more in the dark now than before, but I think that elements occurring after the removed reveal still give sufficient clues as to what happened, the final minutes only confirming suspicions,

Of course this would be better judged by a viewer unfamiliar with the story, thanks to recordwrangler95 such an experiment can now be carried out. I wonder if the use of a different (and perhaps more conventional) structure would have affected the films reception back in 1958.
