Watching the BU release right now.
I don't know if any of my AV equipment has some magic software to counter DNR or add fake grain and detail, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with this transfer that I can see.
There is more than enough 35mm grain on display (possibly a tiny bit too much for my tastes in shots of daytime sky) and the detail is impeccable, and the image free of artifacting.
The Blue Underground release is exemplary so far as I am concerned.
I will be happy to reassess this should Arrow's corrected version ever see the light of day at a bargain price, because as I see it there is
ABSOLUTELY NO REASON (for me) to buy another BD version of this film. Not even for the tiny amount of extra frame at either side (though if anything could persuade me, it is this).
This is just my personal view. All I can presume is that unless a transfer looks like it was shot through a swarm of fruit flies, some people are never going to be happy with Blu-Ray.
