The made-for-television biblical film Esther comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This is a fine release from Trimark. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
