Review title: YET ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING TRANSFER FROM CRITERION
Product review: With the DEVIL & DANIEL WEBSTER, we have yet another example of a shoddy Criterion transfer. The problem here is not the picture, but the sound. Admittedly the picture could be improved - especially the bothersome vertical white line coursing through much of the film. The sound, though, is appalling: a constant and annoying hiss makes it almost impossible to appreciate the astonishing acting and lighting and, obviously, the score.How long can Criterion coast on its heretofore deserved reputation as a distributor of classic films on DVD? With this and other recent fiascos, one can only assume not long.
