Customer Reviews

Wonderful film; extremely bad transfer
Ealing = Excellence: plain and simple. A wonderful story, a brilliant period piece in the same genre as the 1946 Great Expectations. A pity that this transfer to dvd doesn't permit us (the viewers) to appreciate it.

Where does one start. At times it appears that what we see is the result of a first generation video camera filming a late night television broadcast of this film through a coke bottle. Sharpness doesn't exist and blurring is constant. Blackness overcomes the picture so many times you don't know what you are looking at.

I guess living in Canada I am spoiled with the many Criterion (US) releases of classic films "cleaned up" to former glory of their original release date.

Yes, it may be wonderful to see this 1947 classic.... as I did for the first time with this dvd... but I'll be waiting for some other restoration company to come by and return this film to a condition it so rightly deserves... which you won't find in this dvd release.
