DVD PLEASE,

This review is from: Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I agree with the other reviews , it is a funny , wonderful movie . It would be nice to have a good copy on DVD, letter boxed, as the video is grainy.
I vote also for a DVD.

This review is from: Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? (DVD)
This is an entertaining film with great performances and visuals. But the 1978 print looks like it's a 12th generation copy that is fuzzier than some video tapes I've seen. It's too bad. The Warners Archive project is a good one, with some releases (such as the late 50's "Captain Sinbad") actually look great. But this mystery/comedy with George Segal and Jacqueline Bisset isn't one of them. If you can rent it, do so to catch Robert Morley's great bombastic performance as a food magazine owner. There are a lot of famous European actors who have guest spots in the film as great chefs. This was an odd choice to relegate to archives as the film has an audience from years of broadcasts on cable TV in the 1980s.

This review is from: Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? (DVD)
This is NOT a review of the film, which is a favorite of my wife's and I purchased it for her. She loves the film and would give it five stars. Not my kettle of fish.
This is a review of the PRODUCT sold by Amazon as a "manufactured on demand" DVD. First, the DVD seems to play fine in both my wife's computer and on our somewhat older DVD player, as well as our newer one, so I'm not sure what those issues are. The quality of the film on this DVD is poor, fair to average for a 20 year old VHS, and I have lots of those, so I know. We already had an old pre-recorded VHS copy and I wanted to replace the VHS version for her with something better. This product isn't better, it's worse. I've rarely seen that, but this appears to be filmed off of a theater screen, with the occasional hair and so forth that you'd expect from an old Buster Keaton silent film restored from some time vault. Perhaps the original master was lost and all they had was the one that played for five weeks at a run-down theater and then was left uncared for in someone's garage for 20 years. My suggestion is to wait and tape it off TV with your old BETAMAX, you'll get a better quality recording. So, don't waste your money on this, I wouldn't even sell this on Ebay, I'd be embarrassed.
