Negative Positive
Title: Another DVD disaster
Review: Beware -- this is NOT the movie "as it was meant to be seen."Although finally available -- and in widescreen -- the discpresents a severely compromised version of Robert Altman'sgreat film. As detailed by Brad Stevens in VIDEO WATCHDOGmagazine, No. 116, it has been shorn of three minutes --cuts that render some scenes incomprehensible -- due to musicrights issues (real or imagined by skittish studio lawyers).More damage has been done throughout by altering thesoundtrack -- carelessly and stupidly -- wherever certainsongs were originally heard in the film. What a shame.Don't erase those old tapes!
