1.0 out of 5 stars I have taped them from tv - with better quality!, October 29, 1999

This review is from: The Marx Brothers Boxed Set (Animal Crackers / Horse Feathers / Duck Soup) (DVD)

Five stars for the films, no doubt about that. But even if I consider the age of these flicks, the DVD-quality is the WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
At times you can hardly make out what is happening on screen. I think they have used an old video taped version, cut out the commercials and transferred the film to DVD.
Shame on the makers of these DVD's! My advice is not to buy them: they are too expensive for what they offer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stick with VHS!, May 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Marx Brothers Boxed Set (Animal Crackers / Horse Feathers / Duck Soup) (DVD)

These films are all 5-star classics so surely they deserve better treatment than has been meted out here. The picture quality is appalling, the synchronisation poor, and the sound barely audible. Also since there are no extra features, the price being charged is ridiculously high as the 3 films could fit comfortably onto a single dual-layer disc.

As usual, you have some people trying to rip you off here, charging $305 for 3 DVDs. And they probably call themselves fans of American comedy. Ha!

There's a 5 DVD "Marx Bros Collection" coming out in November 03, and the price will be about $25. So preorder it, and spend the other $280 on your kids!
