Sources:
- I borrowed the DVD from the library

* compared to the booklet in the Blu-Ray box set http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/f ... ?fid=24741 , two authors are omitted. The description “new writing” is not exactly correct, because Adriano Aprà’s essay is previously published.

Looks like there is/was also a dual-format edition:

- Amazon B00B6RBT7O

https://ssl.ofdb.de/film/22591,Stromboli lists a German DVD (standalone and part of a box set) and a Blu-Ray. The DVD box set is also reviewed at https://www.dvd-forum.at/review/1854-dv ... ry-edition

Added. I don't think the dual format edition was ever released or not released as yet. Amazon's listing states a possibly placeholder release date from 2000 well before the Blu-ray format.

Hi Eric, I can't see the dvd comparison anywhere? Yes, you are probably right about the dual format release, sorry about that!

"Stromboli" was released in the Rossellini/Bergman Blu-ray box without DVD copies, and there was never a dual format standalone release.
