Quote:At this time, Toho refuses to spend the money on restoration -- about nine years ago, when Criterion released their DVD of Akira Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI (Shinichi'nin-no Samurai), Criterion did an extensive restoration (with the technology at the time), including a scene comparison. It was the inclusion of this comparison that enraged Toho, who felt that this implied that people outside their company knew better, and ordered that all of the DVDs be pulled. Criterion reissued the disc, sans the comparison, and also with the non-restored version of the film. The original issue of the disc has been worth top dollar, until recently.
