Title: disappointing DVD quality
Review: The copy I bought (new,sealed) is a poor quality black and white film.Not only the documentary (which is a real masterwork by Erica Anderson and portrays one of the greatest men who ever lived) has not been restored at all, but the original footage has also been very heavily cut: and this is the most disappointing thing of all. I remember watching the real thing, and there was a sequence featuring Schweitzer sitting on the Kanzerein and contemplating the valley below, the wind playing with his white hair: a very moving scene indeed, but there's no trace of it on this DVD.I hope some other reliable firm will some day publish the whole of the film, in color and really restored.
Is the review positive or negative?
