Movie Reviews

French disguised as British
Larry G. Brommer | Superior, WI United States | 11/27/2007
(2 out of 5 stars)

"The movie may be worth more than 2 stars, but this is a generous rating for the DVD. The sound is distorted and fuzzy. All dialog is dubbed in the continental fashion of the time. It was very difficult to tell what was being said, however much of the humor was visual. Alas, the picture has been haphazardly cropped to full screen and some significant action cannot be seen, in addition to closing titles running off screen. Colors are quite drab. You never know what quality to expect from a Wham!USA disc - I have some British comedies that are near perfect in picture and sound, and others suffer the same fate as this. All this took away from my enjoyment of the movie itself. I might have a more favorable experience with a restored widescreen transfer with cleaned up sound. Then again, the music felt much more French than British. I guess I'm just spoiled by Carry On series and the Doctor movies."
