Title: Scandalous DVD issue
Review: This movie is an excellent filming of a great American play. The one star rating is for another Lion's Gate DVD disaster. Not only is the image dark and blurry, but it has been cut down from its original 1.85:1 ratio to 1.33:1. This means nearly a quarter of the image is missing at all times. So called "full screen" DVDs of widescreen films are questionable, but when this is the ONLY version a company makes available, it is a downright disgrace. Avoid at all costs. Watch it properly on TCM and/or wait for a proper DVD release.** Nov,2012 update: Olive Films has now released a new transfer of this WIDESCREEN film in it's proper aspect ratio. The full image is finally given to us. The print is clean and clear, though a major restoration does not seem to have been attempted. There are no extras or subtitles. It is available on Blu-ray and DVD.Long Day's Journey Into Night [Blu-ray]
