Note: many TV prints of Two for the Road are edited for content, robbing the viewer of Finney and Hepburn's delightful "B-itch/Bastard" cl

I noted this was not issued by Fox who released the original movie. The color transfer is absolutely awful, mainly pink, and shifting continuously - it looks like a product from some interim stage of the restoration process.
