DVD Reviews of The Adventures of Francis the Talking Mule, Vol. 1 (Francis the Talking Mule / Francis Goes to the Races / Francis Goes to West Point / Francis Covers the Big Town)
DVD Review: Three Bad Spots
Summary: 1 Stars
These movies come on a two-sided disc. Two movies to a side. There are no problems with the second side; however, the first side has three bad spots.
At 01:26 into 'Francis The Talking Mule' the screen freezes, and then after about 30 seconds, a series of intermixed scenes appear over and over. After using maximum fast forward, the film resumed at roughly two minutes before the end.
At 01:15 into 'Francis Goes to the Races' the screen freezes and unfreezes several times before continuing normally.
At 01:22 into 'Francis Goes to the Races' the screen freezes and then periodically freezes into blurry, intermixed scenes in a series of horizontal bands. This continues until the last couple of minutes of the film.
The same problems occurred using two different machines. There are no apparent scratches on the disc.
It is too bad that there are disc problems because these are excellent comedies. When Francis speaks, it is very believable. And his human friend, Peter Stirling - played by Donald O'Connor - seesaws from saving the day to being under intensive observation by an assortment of psychiatrists, just because he lets it slip that a mule talks to him.
'Francis the Talking Mule' - Lieutenant Stirling meets Francis in the jungles of Burma during World War II.
'Francis Goes to the Races' - Francis meets his cousin at Oakvale Farms. Stirling helps a rancher's daughter win a race.
'Francis Goes to West Point' - Stirling saves an atomic plant from sabotage. The Army wants him to go to West Point.
'Francis Covers the Big Town' - Stirling, hoping to be promoted, supplies reporters with newsworthy scoops from Francis.
Movie ratings: 4, 4, 4, 4. Picture: excellent. No cropping. Sound: good. Volume: normal
Disc rating: 1.
