This workprint represents the pre-theatrical release version that offers some alternative footage and includes the voice-over narration long absent from DVD and video. An interesting companion to the final, original and director's cuts.

Although set in a future where books are banned, the imagery is pure sixties kitsch, even as the stormtrooper-like firemen, led by Montag (Oskar Werner) burn the forbidden literature. When Montag meets a revolutionary schoolteacher (Christie) who reads and collects b
