DVD Reviews of Jack and the Beanstalk
DVD Review: A good movie gets a bad treatment
Summary: 1 Stars
Some reviewers have asked where oh where is there a good print of this film, one of the two made in color by the great Abbott and Costello, since this public-domain print, put on a cheap DVD by crummy Good-Times Entertainment, is terrible in every way. The answer is Turner Classic Movies, which has shown a fairly glistening print, with good sound and even ok "Cinecolor," and with the black-and-white portions in Sepia-tone, just as was originally done with M-G-M's "The Wizard of Oz," which this picture very cheaply but honorably imitates. Some laughs are unintentional, like any number featuring some of the clunkiest dancers in Hollywood -- but Lou does very well by his song "I Fear Nothing (When I am in the Right)" and the opening theme music is fine. This was a Warner Bros. release, so the Warner Bros. shield SHOULD be at the beginning of the film. Also, the names "Abbott and Costello" are on the screen in those credits for the longest time I have ever seen stars names held like that. They deserved it. The movie is fun no matter what, but wait for it on TCM and try to record it, or encourage Warner Home Video to release it -- if they have the rights. God bless Abbott and Costello.
