DVD Reviews of Our Town (1940)

DVD Review: Horrendous DVD Transfer
Summary: 1 Stars

I'm going to have to agree with the other reviewers here -- the quality of this DVD transfer of the classic 1940 movie "Our Town" is horrific. It looks like someone taped it off a vhs tape that someone else taped off a grainy tv channel. Most of the scenes have white bursts of light all over them, as though they were filtered through an image of the stars in a night sky. The sound is also scratchy and almost distorted. Unfortunately, there are no subtitles to even aid in understanding the dialog. I'm not even going to bother describing the movie -- avoid this print at all costs.

DVD Review: no sound - need i say more?
Summary: 1 Stars

I have ordered this DVD twice now, as the first one was defective and a replacement copy soon arrived to take its place. However, both copies had the same basic problem - NO SOUND WHATSOEVER! These appear to be the worst bootleg copies imaginable - scratchy picture (fine, it's an old film, without the benefit of restoration), . . . BUT NO SOUND???
Not negotiable, in my view - steer clear of this one, and please, Amazon, take it off your market and replace it with a quality version, if one exists!

Extremely poor video reproduction. If I had known I never would have purchased this. You have been warned!
