Editorial Review of DVD

Linda Ronstadt and Kevin Kline starred in this acclaimed production of Gilbert & Sullivan's high-spirited operetta, which comes to DVD (from a 1980 taping for public television) in a no-frills edition. The Pirates of Penzance has been transferred to disc in its original full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. The performance is in English, with no multiple language options or bonus materials included, though the DVD has been given 34 chapter stops, allowing viewers to cue up favorite selections with ease. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
