Title: Play That Fiddle, You...!
Review: Very nice boxed set with some reproductions of various GBU movie posters from the '60's. The sound and picture quality on the DVD are as fine as could possibly be expected from a 35 year-old movie. The extras are mildly entertaining, but the real cool thing is watching the film with the extra 20+ minutes of edited material re-inserted. In this case, editing was a GOOD move. The added footage does very little to expand the storyline and it's very obvious why the footage was deleted in the first place. For all you GBU trivia junkies: Check out the full text of the conversation between Blondie and the 'Half Soldier'. This is the only scene I found where the re-inserted material really adds to the movie. But let's be honest - the reason The Good, the Bad & the Ugly is so great is the fact that it's three pages of dialogue spaced over a three hour movie. Ya really don't NEED the chitchat to be blown away by the film.
Is the review positive or negative?
