Title: Not my PAL
Review: I saw this movie on TCM a few weeks ago and wanted my own copy. What I got was a not so well made PAL (Phased Alternate Line)--what they use in Europe, conversion to NTSC (National Television Standards Committee)--what we use in the U.S.& Canada. Since this was a film originally I expected a film transfer to NTSC. That's not what I got. Why does this matter? The resolution is not crisp and when the camera pans left or right the video stutters. I played this in a new Blu-ray player. They shouldn't be able to market this as a factory original if it's simply a not so well made PAL conversion. There are conversions that would not suffer from these kinds of artifacts.
Is the review positive or negative?
