Yes, thank you for the correction on Harvey's name; only posted this review because I acquired the title just recently; that's why I didn't preface the headline as a new title, rather "My Thoughts On..."

Thanks for reading. I agree with what you say about Voight and Mirren. Again, though, I posted this overview for a couple of reasons, the first being what I outlined above (that I just acquired the title) and also because if you take close notice in the video analysis section, you'll see where I mention being "surprised" with the video quality this time around -- that is, when I first rented this when it came out, I don't remember it looking this good on Blu-ray, so this was kind of a "personal update" of sorts to perhaps let folks in on the true nature of this transfer.
