Editorial Review of DVD
The third miniseries based on the writings of Armistead Maupin, Further Tales of the City, comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original aspect ratio of 1.78:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a sporadic commentary track recorded by many of the figures involved in the making of the series, interviews with the cast and crew, making-of footage, and alternate scenes. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
