1.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie - Terrible DVD, June 13, 2001

This review is from: Cyrano De Bergerac/Captain Scarlett (DVD)

My all-time favorite movie. Worst copy of any movie I've ever seen on any DVD or VHS. However, I e-mailed the manufacturer, and a representative said that he agreed, and that that copy should never have been released. He said that they are coming out with a much better one. ...

1.0 out of 5 stars Truly worthless., July 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Cyrano De Bergerac/Captain Scarlett (DVD)

Thirty seconds into Cyrano (murkier than any presentation I ever saw on television), I started skipping around in it to see if the quality improved. When it didn't, I hit the Stop button, only to be stunned by the image of the, um, "busty" female mentioned in an earlier review. What on earth were the folks at "Marengo Films" thinking? Were they thinking at all? I cannot imagine.

This DVD has no redeeming feature. I've never been so disappointed with a product, and I hope that someone else releases a good copy of the Ferrer film, because it deserves far better than this.

1.0 out of 5 stars A disservice to a classic, May 21, 2001

This review is from: Cyrano De Bergerac/Captain Scarlett (DVD)

I was initially excited to get Ferrer's Cyrano de Bergerac, a role for which he rightfully got an Oscar. Unfortunately, Marengo Films did an extremely POOR job of transferring to DVD, with the film jittering and the sound garbled in many places. No attempt was made to clean or restore the film, so the overall experience is disappointing.
