Editorial Reviews

[NON-U.S. FORMAT (PAL) Region 2 U.K. Import - This will not play on U.S./Canada DVD players or those from most other countries outside of Europe.

Yentl realises she must become a boy to receive an education, without considering the emotional impact of such a step.

This review is from: Yentl [Region 2] (DVD)

Good story, songs, acting, I don't understand why this is not released as a Region 1 DVD. However, multi-region DVD players are now available for low cost. I bought one especially so my wife, a Streisand enthusiast, could see this movie. We were not disappointed.

This review is from: Yentl [Region 2] (DVD)

Unfortunately, this was a result of my hubby's first online shopping attempt. I love the movie Yentl, and had requested it for years, however, this is a REGION 2 DVD and will not work in the US. Apparently they have never released it on DVD for the us. I don't understand that. Barbra Streisand has many diehard fans who would love this movie. Yes, she sings a lot in it... that's why we love her. Mandy Patinkin and Amy Irving are just wonderful and of course Barbra is at her best. It has serious moments, romantic moments, and funny moments. One of my favorite old school films. In the meantime, I have purchased a VHS copy to tide me over.
