The Blu-ray is a new 2021 1080p remaster from a 4K scan of our best preservation elements. The minor footage M-G-M cut from the original negative which referenced Italy for a reissue during WWII has yet to be located, despite decades of searching. This is the first remaster in more than 20 years.

On paper this quasi-sequel sounds even more flimsy— six genius kids from around the world are discovered to hold historic intellectual capacity and are gathered together in London, where they immediately form a collective and threaten the military and diplomatic figures of their varied nations. But I was surprised at how effective the film was, alternating intimidating shots of the little brats looking ominously at assorted adults with wry bits of British comedy from two of the specialists who first discover the existence of the kids. The ending here is strange and fatalistic in an unexpected way, and I’m not sure what to make of it but I give it props for going in such an unusual direction. Recommended.
