I'm looking on Amazon.co.uk (via the forums link, obviously :)) and there are two versions of Some Like It Hot, one at £15.99 and one at £18.99 - neither have any difference in their descriptions.

Anybody know the difference?

Without actually looking at the site, I can tell you that the 18.99 version is probably the recently released special edition which has quite a few features on it. Including a commentary...I think. Check Play or somewhere like that for more info.

There was a re-release a week or two ago, with extras -

Nostalgic lookback documentary
Memories from the 'Sweet Sues' featurette
Virtual Hall of Memories
Press Book gallery
Trailer
Trailers for other Billy Wilder films.

There's a review of the re-release at DVDTimes here (http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/index.cgi?page=Review&id=282&story=2188)

You've got it back to front! The new release really is cheaper, it has a few features, including an interview with Tony Curtis, but no commentary.

Was the original DVD anamorphic because the re-release is definitely 16:9?

I've just ordered the special ed. from www.devoted.com.au for £11.60. Good price.
