5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality release from WB, December 2, 2009

By 

Gary Cooper Fan (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Betrayed (1954) (DVD)

Please do not listen to Phil Stout. I almost didn't order this dvd because of his review. I would recommend ordering directly from warner over ordering it here though. The quality of this dvd is not worse than any videtape. You can completly ignore Phil on this movie. The quality is as good as any 50's color movie released on dvd. This is not a CD as Phil states but a DVD-R (burned not pressed dvd). If you have seen other Gable color movies from the 50's the quality is as good or better than Magambo, Soldier of Fortune and the Tall Men. I do have public domain movies on dvd that are as worse as any movie ever released on VHS but this is not one of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars War movie about the Dutch underground, May 31, 2004

This review is from: Betrayed [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Studio: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Video Release Date: December 11, 1991

Cast:
Clark Gable
Lana Turner
Victor Mature

Gable is Dutch intelligence working under the Brits, training Lana Turner to work in Holland with the underground. She has a questionable background, but he trusts her. When people begin to die, and operations go awry, he begins to doubt her.

Victor Mature is also a member of the underground, called "the scarf," because he wears one, flamboyantly.

It becomes a question of which one is the traitor.

Not a bad film in the genre. Nothing special about it, except the cast. They all do their jobs well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tiny forgotten gem on DVD-R, April 14, 2010

This review is from: Betrayed (1954) (DVD)

I actually don't understand Studio policies.

For many years they were sitting on magnificent movies, such as this one, and never decided to release them on DVD.

Suddenly they seem to have discovered that they always had them, sitting in their vaults and voila, here they are,
popping up like popcorn, but at a price.

I must say that they also capitalize on such titles, because they are far from being cheap.

At prices ranging from 16 to 26 dollars for a simple transfer to DVD-R (the kind we all know and use daily in our
DVD readers on our laptops or PCs), with no extras to speak about (generally just the trailer), sometimes
not even provided with a decent menu or chapter option, and lacking optional subtitles or languages, they
could easily be taken as true rip-offs.

Yet, one must admit that although the movies presented here are WISIWIG (What You See is What You Get), all the copies
I have watched from both the Warner Bros. and Universal vaults, are still (for their age), in excellent condition.

The sound is usually as is, as it came when the movie was originally released. Therefore, one might expect a bit of
disappointment, but in reality the sound is usually quite crisp and good, so no problem there.

But as said, the price is that of a special edition, and these are a far cry from such an edition.
I therefore classify these among "strictly collector's or connaisseur editions", which would explain and justify
such fantastic pricing.

Yet, like in this case, I can only recommend these, since otherwise, they would be subjected to rest in the Studio
vaults for another twenty, if not fifty years until forgetfulness and carelessness take their toll on some gems
like "Bhowani Junction", "Not with My Wife, You Don't" or "Tell Them Willie Boy is Here".

Get them while you can, if you have a few bucks reserved for this.

I suspect that after this wave is gone, they will again disappear for a while...
