I have the two disc version from years ago with lots of bonus material, including commentary from the screenwriter Ivan Moffat and George Stevens Jr. I love the bonus material. This is my all time favorite film and I have had the pleasure of watching it twice on the big screen after the 4K restoration. I'm hoping for more screenings of it in theaters here so my daughters can see it the way it was meant to be seen. Based on your review, I'll have to buy the dvd restoration for picture quality. Thanks!
The" soft focus" was intentional and reflects a photographic technique utilized during the period it was shot. It was commonly employed while shooting female characters, particularly the lead. It would hide wrinkles and give the star a more youthful, ethereal, and "star-like" quality. They used filters or supposedly "vaseline" to achieve the look. Today they call it the "Gaussen Girl" or "Gaussen blur" effect, available on Adobe Photoshop and other software, but back then it was just something they'd always done since Hollywood's Golden Age.
