1.0 out of 5 stars DVD quality is terrible and the movie itself is not much better, January 14, 2010

THE DVD...
I've viewed bad public domain DVDs before but this was something to scream at. There are scenes when someone is talking and half of their face is in the frame and the other half is cut off. There are hisses, pops, and other unpleasant soundtrack flaws throughout (at times it even blurs dialogue). The screen jumps constantly and is full of haze. Until a good quality print of this is issued, this particular DVD should be avoided. Then again, you may want to avoid the movie altogether...

THE MOVIE...
Sadly, the movie itself is scarcely better than the DVD on which it is presented. Despite a knockout cast (what drew me to this was the fact that Myrna Loy and Olivia de Havilland are both in it), the film never comes together and is missing the vital spark needed for a romantic comedy. Despite being about 40 at the time the film was made, de Havilland looks very youthful and is effortlessly believable as the youthful title character. But even she can't save this highly disappointing film. Pity!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Ambassador's Daughter, September 21, 2010

Tom Without Pity (A Major Midwestern Metropolis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ambassador's Daughter (DVD)

This is a review for THE AMBASSADOR'S DAUGHTER (1956)directed and written by Norman Krasna. Olivia de Haviland in a 1956 romcom ? Well, why not? She was good in practically everything I've seen her in and if you've ever watched her carry the Sonny Tufts burdened wartime bomb, GOVERNMENT GIRL, you can believe that she'd do justice to herself and her character in this trifle.

The story concerns Joan Fisk, daughter of the American ambassador to France, who is bored showing Americans the well-known French sights and wants to prove to her father that no all GIs are wolves. She accepts a date with Sgt. Danny Sullivan, played by John Forsythe, and immediately falls for him.
The rest of this movie concerns rather silly attempts to conceal the relationship from her father and possibly everyone else. With John Forsythe, Tommy Noonan, MYrna Loy, Adolph Menjou, Edward Arnold.

By the way, the picure quality on the copy that I saw was certainly okay, pretty fair, in fact.
I give THE AMBASSADOR'S DAUGHTER Three Stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE--Bad DVD copy, October 20, 2008

This review is from: The Ambassador's Daughter (DVD)

Very disappointing copy of this film. I saw it on TCM as well and it was lovely copy they ran. There must be a way that Amazon ought to be held responsible for not rating the quality of these films when they are as bad as pirated versions.
