As if the film itself wasn't confusing enough, the producers have packed lots of features on time travel and brain capacity onto this blu-ray. There is very cool PIP though!

Alfred Hitchcock and Cary Grant's final film together is probably my favourite film, so when I opened the box of this new release blu-ray to discover, on one disc, a 30-minute feature on the film featuring Guillermo Del Toro among others, a new 2-hour documentary on Grant presented by Helen Mirren, and a 90-minute special on Hitchcock's Signature Style, I almost died of happiness!

The long-awaited bluray release of this Charlton Heston classic features several interesting featurettes- none of which are on bluray! The Disc 2 is a plain old DVD and Disc One has NO FEATURES so the only thing in HD is the film!
