All images: original release on left (or FIRST), new Legacy Collection release on right (or SECOND)
Comments: The transfers are very close to one another.
It's another very close call. The contrast is pretty much identical.
A close examination shows very slightly improved detail on the old transfer.
Since the old transfer also has a slightly more generous framing, I declare
the original release to be the winner here.
