3.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie (Guilty Conscience), Bad DVD Release, October 24, 2000

By	Cal (Hawaii) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guilty Conscience/Blunt the Fourth Man (DVD)

I've purchased several other budget DVDs of "Guilty Conscience" (from other companys such as Direct Video), and this double feature release has the best picture quality of all of these so far. But this isn't saying much, because the video/audio quality still leaves a lot to be desired. Worst of all, this double feature DVD has several technical problems that are very annoying. (At first I thought that I had a defective copy, so I bought another one and experienced the same problems.) What are the problems? First, after the first 20 minutes or so of "Guilty Conscience", the video "jumps" and you completely skip a scene where the Blythe Danner character is supposedly shot by her husband. For some reason, you cannot key in a reverse chapter jump or scan. Also, throughout the rest of the movie, there are occasional spots where the picture just freezes (on its own) for a few seconds. Very, very bad technical flaws in this DVD.

However, you're either going to have take it or leave this DVD, because this is the only way you can get this wonderful movie on DVD. Hopefully, a major company that cares about the products they release will reissue this movie on DVD, but since this movie is, I believe, out in the public domain, it's not very likely this will happen.

Anyway, buy this DVD at your own risk if you like this movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars AVOID THIS DVD!, December 17, 2000

By	D. Drane "Retired guy" (Silverton, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Guilty Conscience (DVD)

Avoid this DVD! As another reviewer said, it's remarkable bad. I wish I'd read his comments before I bought mine. I recommend buying instead a used VHS tape from a rental store. Its quality will be far better than this DVD.

The DVD is a poor transcription of a second- or third-generation videotape. It has the tape's tracking problems. The colors are very weak. It is blurry to the degree that you want to say it has *no* resolution. The audio is terrible. Besides being blurry, we had to adjust our volume control to full volume to be able to hear much of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anthony Hopkins Fans--Alert!!!!, January 5, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Grand Rapids, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guilty Conscience (DVD)

Possibly the most overlooked Anthony Hopkins performance ever. Please check this one out (my favorite DVD find!). He plays multiple roles, in an ala Columbo murder mystery (we-already-know-"who-done-it"). He's a lawyer trying to figure out how to do away with Blythe Danner (his wife). He has Swoozie Kurtz on the side. Hopkins fan, you say? This is an absolute must then, I say.
