I have seen the redux dozens of times. In fact I have seen the original version only once, long ago. I need to watch it again to make an accurate comparison. But I always argue against those who find the redux scenes out of place. I love all scenes in the redux version including the french plantation scene with which a lot of people have a problem. I have the dossier dvd pack. My only complaint with it is that the movies are split into two dvds.
