Title: Excellent play, terrible recording
Product review: I wish I would have read through the reviews BEFORE I bought this. When I was young, my family had a movie version of this with the same actors, so when I saw "The Priates of Penzance" with Keven Kline, Linda Ronstadt and Rex Smith, I thought "great" and just bought it. WRONG! It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so obvious that it came from an analog source. Have you ever watched a video tape so many times that it jumps and hiccups and the picture gets all fuzzy and the sound gets all muffled? Well, they didn't even TRY to remaster it - they just copied it to disc. If you're going to buy this version, GET VHS - save yourself the couple of extra dollars - it's not worth it.PS the version that I had as a kid had Angela Lansbury, this one does not.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
