I'm assuming the Mankiewicz one...?

That's what the Amazon listing says.

Not a great film, but at least it's more fun than a lot of the other turgid Potier dramas that exist.

DVDBeaver's review reveals this also contains the entire All About Mankiewicz French TV doc, which runs nearly two hours! I think this is the first time it's been on disc outside of France

It's currently hard to find even in France, actually !

Anyone else's cover have a lot of yellow bleeding around the edges, from what is presumably the reverse artwork?

A tiny bit along the edges at the front; none at the back. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed it. Now that I've taken the cover out of the case, I think I'll go with the reverse yellow version.

Ahh, it's reversible, yeah? I'll just crack mine open and switch it around. Mine's quite bad. I thought it was stained or had been sitting in bright sunlight until I noticed a hint of yellow on the back.

I don't care that much so am fine with it, but the whole front of my copy's cover indeed is quite yellowed. It indeed look like it stayed too long under the sun, but I also have a horizontal streak of yellow across it (it's situated at the equivalent of the 1st line of the reverse blurb - "A pivotal early film..."). I don't have that much edge bleeding, though, only very slightly at the top.

I presume this is the reverse, which I quite like:

Yes, that's the reverse cover
