1.0 out of 5 stars DV-R of Technicolor jewel in B&W!, February 15, 2008

This review is from: Fabulous Versailles (Royal Affairs In Versailles) (1954-France) (DVD)

Sach Guitry was the son of France's most illustrious actor and the godson of Sarah Bernhardt. As such, he had access to the historical sites and costumes reserved for the finest museums, opulence the common tourist could never see on their own. Some of his films are like what could have happened if Preston Sturges had devoted himself to making historical epics. They're elegant and cheeky, fast paced, silly and entirely over dressed.
This is a terrific and gorgeous historical film being sold here by AMAZON as a shoddy DV-R with no packaging and a stick on label. It features a murky black and white transfer of what appears to be a pan&scan vhs tape from a faded print. I'm returning it without watching it. I'd rather remember how beautiful those fireworks looked over the fountains at Versailles in the beautiful color print I saw and not mess around with this ugly desecration!

1.0 out of 5 stars severe disappointment, February 25, 2009

Fabulous Versailles (Royal Affairs In Versailles) (1954-France)

I saw this film in the fifties and enjoyed it greatly. It was in colour and with French dialogue. This version is in black-and-white (although the credits mention technicolour) and is dubbed. The magic has gone. Is it not possible to obtain the technicolour & French language version ?

This review is from: Fabulous Versailles (Royal Affairs In Versailles) (1954-France) (DVD)

Versaille is fablous but NOT IN BLACK AND WHITE. I paid just under $23 for the DVD and was dreadfully disappointed because the movie was supposed to be and actually said "In Technicolor" and the whole thing was in BLACK AND WHITE. It was as if someone made a copy of the movie in B&W and was selling that one. It wasn't as fabulous in black and white and I don't like it nor want it that way. I'm about to return it for a credit to my account. So for this review, I will say no more.
