Title: MGM IS SOLD
Product review: Sadly the original versions of this film on VHS and Laserdisc have been discarded to bring the viewing public a truncated version of Hill's HAWAII. Even minus the Overture, Intermission, and Exit musics. . .there have to be extreme edits in this version. I could argue that the mere fact that this fine film is finally available on DVD--is a plus argument--but with severe edits--it simply is not worth a buy. Hopefully a full version of this epic might finally be made available under the new owners of MGM. But my gut feeling is that we will not see the complete version until it emerges 5 years from now as a budget item in mono sound and as a standard screen sized item. Such is the respect, and business acumen of dummies.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
