The overall impression does remain pretty much the same.
There are some changes in emphasis that are fairly
interesting if you are a fan of the film and know it pretty
well.
The most interesting change is what is revealed when
Mancini's soundtrack is stripped off the famous opening shot
to reveal the ambient sounds. The car radio fades in and out
as it gets nearer or farther away from Heston and Leigh, so
you are more aware of its position. This does a nice job of
raising the suspense.
