5.0 out of 5 stars Why hasn't the studio opted to release this on DVD???, August 9, 2005

By	Austenparker "Life is too short to read bad b... (Well, where are YOU?) - See all my reviews

Yes, it's advertised as available - but they're imports. Not to cast aspersions upon imports, but is it so difficult for whomever owns the copyright to produce this & add a few DVD extras?
This is an amazing movie - Vivien Leigh is completely charming as Myra & gives a bravura performance. For any of the uninitiated, the story revolves around a ballerina & the serviceman she meets during a WWI air raid in a story where the Shakesperean axiom of true love & its propensity to run amok is thoroughly illustrated.
Although not the all-time greatest movie ever made, it's a splendid gem from 1940s Holywood, replete with a bit of melodrama, a bit of unreality, a lot of pathos and humanity. "Waterloo Bridge" is a classic film which is due to the movie-loving public - particularly in its virgin black & white condition. PLEASE, Hollywood, make this movie available on DVD to the public!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Movie, Bad Release, June 24, 2006

By	Miles (Southern California) - See all my reviews

Wonderful movie. Would love to have this and Vivien Lee's stellar performance on DVD. Hollywood's unnecessary region codes that screw over so many of us who would want and buy these DVDs are unfair. I hope someone will listen and release this DVD for North American DVD players. No wonder so many people rip and buy illegal copies when the real, quality copies are unavailable. I would be satisfied with a Region 1 DVD with no special features just to own this but looks like I will have to wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vivien Leigh...so much more than just Scarlett, March 7, 2007

By	Rafael T. Beckford "Pelleas29" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I watched this movie for the first time just a few days ago, and it has made such an impact on me, mostly because of the bravura performance by Vivien Leigh. She is so much more than the two excellent performances she is mostly knwn for ('Gone with the wind' and 'A Streetcar named desire')
In Waterloo Bridge, her performance of Myra, the dancer turned prostitute, left me haunted. This is the type of story of someone who has gone through so much before, that makes her doubt about life and the goodness of it, the possibility of a lifetime of happiness. But what's fascinating is that there is no mention in the movie of Myra's past, but Ms Leigh lets you know that she has gone through so much by the look in her eyes and body language; by the moments in which she is so anxious for that bridge to happiness to open up to her. I was incredibly moved by it. The intimacy of her performance is the center of the movie. The last scene, when she is walking on the bridge and about to do what she'll end up doing (I won't spoil the ending), gave me tears, touched me deeply in my heart. There was no need for words, Ms Leigh's restraind and powerful acting is something that i had rarely seen before in any actor. The other actors are good as well. Robert Taylor's role is the generic one of the male hero of a movie, quite two-dimensional. Virginia Field as Kitty, the close friend of the heroine, is quite good, giving depth to a character that could have been quite two-dimensional otherwise. I purchased the novel because i want to compare the book itself with the movie/screenplay, though i am very satisfied with the movie itself. I would like to know the original source of the novel by the Pulitzer price winning author, Robert Sherwood. Melvin LeRoy did beautifully captured the essence of a story of a human beeing caught by the rolling rock of destiny. But this is in great part thanks for Ms. Leigh acting. This movie has become one of my very favorites of all time, but the main reason is how Ms Leigh was able to read into the soul of a woman that deep down has been beaten by her past, and how at the end she is fatally wounded inside. Few actors are able to reach so deep into the soul of a written character. Her performance will haunt me for a long time.
