Good Movie, Bad Transfer to DVD

"This movie, when I first saw it, was an engaging and enjoyable romp, with good acting, music, and script. Everybody in it was clearly having fun, and Lisa Raines (Foster) was charming and delightful, perfect for the role. I've been a fan of this film ever since.
However, THIS transfer, despite the good picture quality and sound, wasn't worth getting. There are a number of pieces of the film missing, including a critical-to-the-story bit of narrative by Fanny near the end, which is on my VHS copy. Even if you haven't seen it before, you can tell the pieces are missing. There are abrupt "chops" in some sequences, or the music ends abruptly and the scene jumps.
This picture deserved MUCH better treatment."
Poor quality picture heavily edited

"I liked this movie when I first saw it about ten years ago. This version is heavily edited and the picture quality is poor"

"This once great movie has been butchered beyond being able to give it the stars it should have. Any seller on this site attempting to take money for this hacked up version should be required to post a warning!!!
Apparently this cut up version is the only one available in America.
Why would some idiot mutilate a movie as this on was done?
Hopefully one day the uncut version will get released......."
Very edited
