Title: Interesting period piece, godawful DVD release
Product review: Although this DVD says it's "digitally remastered," that only means that it was transferred from film to the digital medium of DVD. The releasing company missed a golden opportunity to clean it up -- the film is grainy, flickering and shows signs of deterioration that could and should have been corrected before releasing the film on DVD. The soundtrack, as well, is perfectly awful, with shattered, screeching highs and inaudible lows. I have recordings made from wax cylinders recorded before 1910 that have been restored to sound much better than this 1934 release. It's very discouraging that so little care and attention should have been paid to finally making this film available after so many years. Anna May Wong, and the people who buy this DVD, deserve better.
