Customer Reviews: Very Poor DVD quality!!! June 17, 2007 nmollo (London) 11 out of 12 found this review helpful This DVD transfer is not very good. It seems to be a copy of an poorly edited version of the film. The image is very soft with a lot of scratches and jumps. The sound is pretty poor too. The transfer is so bad that it's impossible to enjoy this edition August 18, 2007 Ant Man Bee 7 out of 7 found this review helpful Certainly not Brando's best film, but the only one he directed, with some great acting from both Brando and the under-rated Carl Malden. This edition however, is so badly transferred - juddering pans, pixellated to the point that you can't even read the opening credits, terrible sound quality, compressed to hell - as to be intolerable. Avoid or you'll be disappointed and frustrated. Desperately seeking decent transfer... April 16, 2009 Kenneth F. Mcara (Dundee, Scotland) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful From this copy of the movie, it's extremely difficult to believe that the film was actually nominated for Best Cinematography in the 1962 Oscars! Both sound and picture are severely compromised in this relatively dire transfer to DVD. br / br /At times in its troubled production both Rod Serling and Sam Peckinpah had a hand in the writing of the screenplay, and Stanley Kubrick was the original director. However, studio politics meant that none of them survived, and Marlon Brando ended up directing for the first, and last, time. br / br /All available DVD versions seem to be Public Domain, and, unfortunately, it shows. We can only hope that this film, which is of considerable historic interest, is eventually restored appropriately, including a return to the original widescreen 1.85:1 VistaVision ratio.
