I would assume the Blu-ray disc to be released in the UK will be the same transfer as found in the overburdened USA release, right?
It'll be the same transfer. There will be a standalone movie version of the Blu-ray in the U.S. shortly after this monstrosity is released but the U.K. disc will probably still be cheaper.

If that picture is even roughly to scale, that's a pretty tiny umbrella.
That is because the umbrella is intended to shield your DELUXE EDITION SINGIN' IN THE RAIN GIFT SET WITH BONUS BOOK, UMBRELLA, AND VIAL OF RAINWATER FROM THE M-G-M STUDIO LOT, rather than your person, from the elements.
Could be useful to a friend of mine who has a cat that pees on his boxed sets. He just needs about 500 umbrellas.

DVDBeaver on the Blu-ray, so it looks like the Blu-ray contains the commentary, the new documentary, a jukebox, and trailer. Looks like if you want to get the extras that were on disc 2 of the DVD set, you need to either buy the umbrella box, or find an old DVD copy.

Looks like another case of them posting blurred screen captures. What's on the disc will likely be quite a bit nicer.

There's no way the subtitle overlay would be that soft.

That blows. They at least should've included the deleted scene.

From the comments: "...studio executives thought the running time of the film was going to be too long if this had stayed in."

It's great that it at least still exists, though ^.

Singin In The Rain UCE is up at Amazon UK for pre-order, at a low £17.50 price. Although it doesn't specify if this is just 1 disc or 3 discs, the title says "Ultimate Collector's Edition"
