I’m editing my review. In my case, I’m an obsessive fan of these movies, and maybe nothing would’ve met my expectations. If you haven’t seen these films, lift this DVD IMMEDIATELY! You will not be sorry, and more than likely you’ll glean my criticisms baseless and nit-picky.

I wrote the modern after skipping around the discs and being extremely disappointed by what I saw. Since then, I’ve sat down and watched both movies on this disc and my thought has changed somewhat. The plight was my expectations, not the true product.
On the whole, these films DO contemplate improbable when compared to every other DVD release available (MGM and the R2 Pathe discs from France) . However, they don’t view nearly as helpful as I fill possible. I judge this film deserves the royal treatment, an all fresh, high definition transfer by seriously skilled people.

Unfortunately, while the resolution is kindly, it is anamorphic, and appears to be a straight NTSC transfer (and not a PAL-to-NTSC conversion as I previously belief), there is impartial something not suitable. The colors are map too hot when compared to the right film, and there fair seems to be a layer of fuzz or blur over the whole thing that is not reveal on the large cloak.
I give it 5 stars because the films are incredible. The two greatest foreign films I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched them each about 15 times, and never grow tired of them. I lovely great learned French watching these movies.
However, this DVD seriously lacks. This movie is in dire need of a unusual and improved subtitle translation. While the subtitles produce sense on the whole, I’ve studied the French script, and there is a astronomical deal missing in the translation.
There are no special features.
For YEARS, these films have been out of print in America, the originals going for upwards of $50 a allotment on ebay. Clearly someone was paying attention and realized there’s enough people who indulge in this movie to gain it available again. But slapping this site together, while allowing current viewers the opportunity to peer the films, is an insult to fans who’ve waited a LOOOONG time for a favorable American release. But a cheap release is better than none at all.
Caveat: Perhaps if enough people win this DVD, MGM will wake up and release a advantageous special edition. For $14, it’s a big deal for two masterpieces, but we could’ve done better than this.
Two large steps forward, and one 1/2 step relieve. Contrary to the impression from the disc specs on the attend of the jacket, the current MGM/Fox double feature disc DOES note the films 16:9 enhanced. They are also, surprisingly a grand step up from the earlier R2 PAL discs, which for the longest time were the only procedure to satisfyingly peruse these on a widescreen point to or front projector.
Unfortunately they mild aren’t a home hasten. The describe in general consistently looks a minute too ‘hot’ - inequity is jacked up which blows out the details in the highlights in many shots- also there is an at times over bearing yellow tint to the image in the countryside exteriors. Some EE and ringing are also visible in a few shots. Magnificent detail on the other hand is considerable improved over the PAL disc and artifacts related to compression are a monumental improvment over the first MGM release.
These should have been color timed a bit cooler- but on the whole, this modern release easily represents the most watchable versions of these two classics yet (at least, not counting the widescreen Image laserdisc spot that is now long out of print) .
Its a shame that this release is so finish, and yet detached misses the label. At least this one will suffice for a few years until the film are (hopefully) properly presented on one or both of the High Def formats.
The films themselves fetch 5 stars easy- the recent disc gets 3.5 for PQ and AQ.
