Title: Alpha Video - Omega Quality
Review: Okay, the serial itself is a hoot. A fairly early entry with a feel that talkies have finally arrived -- although it was made in the mid-30s. But what can we do about Alpha? Sure, they make offerings such as these available, when no one else will, but absolutely no effort is made with respect to quality. A grainy, noisy copy of the series was used, and what's with the cropping? You know something's up when the title disappears from the top of the screen. Our hero, and dastardly villains, often have their heads lopped off. I'm not asking for letterbox quality -- not even pan and scan -- but can't you at least get the top and bottom of the frame on the screen? Oh well. If you can pick up a copy for about $5, it's worth it. But remember, you've been warned.
Is the review positive or negative?
