Netflix has it. I bumped it to the top of my queue. I'm not sure if I'll get to it by the end of this.

I don't know if this will affect your decision, but check out DVD Savant's review of the Region 1 DVD on Facets. He gives the following grades: Movie: Excellent, Video: Poor, Sound: Good. The Facets video on Netflix is a Pan and Scanned 1:66 of the 2:35 original. I've got the original, thanks to a buddy in Europe. So, if that makes a difference, just pm me.
