5.0 out of 5 stars THIS is the official Fox "Snows of Kilimanjaro" DVD to get!, March 12, 2007

By

Spinner "jd" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Snows of Kilimanjaro (DVD)

****This review applies ONLY to the Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment DVD release. NOT for any other release. For the first time in home video history, Twentieth Century-Fox Home Entertainment has released "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" in a NON-public domain edition. Since the advent of the VCR, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" has been resigned to crappy, public domain videos from just about every cheapy distributor around. FINALLY Twentieth Century-Fox, the original studio behind this classic, has taken it from the public domain and given it a proper home video release on DVD. If you love this fan, you can use all previous DVDs of this film for coasters for your drink as you enjoy this marvel. Completely remastered and restored, "Snows" is nothing less than a technical wonder. For years I thought the only way to watch this film was on washed out, dark and scratchy prints. No more! Twentieth Century-Fox gives us a glowing transfer, superb soundtrack and loads of extras. Included as part of the "Ernest Hemmingway Film Collection", this DVD is also sold separately, which is basis for this review. Do not hesitiate to buy this version, which currently retails for under 20 bucks. It is worth every penny! Good-bye poor quality PD DVDs, hello "Snows of Kilimanjaro" the way it was meant to be seen!

1.0 out of 5 stars Snows of Kilimanjaro, October 23, 2003

This review is from: The Snows of Kilimanjaro (DVD)

Bought the DVD in assembling a Gregory Peck collection. Version was the one with Ava Gardner on the cover of the pack. The film was complete, but there was annoying technical noise, and quite a bit of fluttering in the picture. I may at some point buy another version of this DVD, but I do not recommend the technical quality of this particular production.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Copy for ONE Dollar, December 19, 2006

By

kametamorphic "ametamorphic" (East Haven) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Snows Of Kilimanjaro [Slim Case] (DVD)

I only paid a dollar for this DVD and this is one of the best copies I have found of this film. In THE SNOWS OF KILMANJARO writer Gregory Peck reflects on the loves in his life as he lays waiting to die at the base of Kilimanjaro in this Hemingway story. The story juxtaposes his past live with his true Ava Gardner and the present with his wife Susan Hayward. THE SNOWS OF KILMANJARO has a very good Bernard Herrmann score. John DeCuir and Lyle R. Wheeler's Art Direction is exquisite and adds to the strange mystique of this film. Henry King's direction is rather ethereal.
