Title: Beware AVID/ITC VHS version in EP speed
Review: I saw this movie back in the 1970s, and although it admittedly is not on my list of "Greatest Films of All Time", I did enjoy it and wanted a copy of it since it doesn't get played on TV much anymore.After reading all the negative reviews of the DVD issue, I decided to play it safe and order it in VHS. Unfortunately, the version I got, put out by ITC through AVID Home Entertainment and Live Home Video Inc. (all these names were on the video slipcase) was recorded in "SLP" (otherwise know as EP) speed instead of SP like most VHS tapes are. As a result, the picture and sound quality are poor - the images are fuzzy at the edges and the stereo separation is barely noticeable, and I even tried listening with headphones! Hopefully this movie will be re-done in regular DVD since I don't own a Blu-Ray and won't buy one just for this movie...
Is the review positive or negative?
