I don't think there is any difference between the two releases when it comes to 
picture quality the MGM is near enough the same as the new Criterion. I've just 
had a look at both and iy you get the Criterion you would only be upgrading for 
the extras. There seems to be some harrumph on some of the DVD forums about 
this issue.

  I hear the extras are great but no new work was done on the film restoration 
to the previous release (which is, presumably, the BFI restoration...) any 
further info on the actual transfer quality of the feature would be welcome.

Kirby...this is so cool! it just so happens that Korda's THIEF OF BAGDAD is one 
of my favorite movies...I saw it for the first time when I was about seven 
years old (it was the first re-release) and fell in love with it. i have 
watched it many times over the years and have always regarded it as the 
quintessential Arabian Nights fantasy movie. I'm thrilled to learn that there 
is a new Criterion DVD of the film, and delighted that you are one of the 
'extras on the disc. I will certainly get one ASAP.
Can't wait to hear your interview!
  Richard

 I'm happy to let the members know that an interview that I did with  
 the composer
 Miklos Rozsa for public radio station KUT-FM at The University of  
 Texas at Austin
 has been included, in excerpts, in the new Criterion DVD of Alexander  
 Korda's
 THE THIEF OF BAGDAD.
 
 The interview was done in 1975.  An associate of mine, Tom DeMary,  
 who is
 a huge film fan and film soundtrack fan, introduced me to Dr. Rozsa, and
 set up the interview.  Rozsa went into a studio in Santa Monica and I  
 was
 recorded in Austin.  For many years, I thought this interview was lost
 when station personnel inadvertently bulk erased some programs I had
 produced.  But Tom had an additional air check copy.  The originals were
 given to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, where digital
 masters of the tapes were made.  The Academy were kind enough to provide
 CD copies
 
 Tom suggested we offer the recording to Criterion and they decided to
 use it on the supplements disc in the set.
 
 THE THIEF OF BAGDAD DVD has another treat for Michael Powell and
 Korda fans, an additional film, the war propaganda film THE LION HAS  
 WINGS.
 
 Typical Criterion quality has been employed in the execution of the DVD.

I'm watching this over the next few days because it will take that long to 
get through all the extras, a marvellous release from Criterion.
