Editorial Review of DVD

Tony Plana's love story about a rich girl and a poor boy, The Princess and the Barrio Boy comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.33:1. English and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. Supplemental materials include a photo gallery and filmographies of the performers and filmmakers. This decent release from Showtime Entertainment should please genre enthusiasts, but does not offer anything of interest for the average DVD consumer. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
