Title: What a total shame
Review: I have seen this movie many times over the years, and would normally have rated it 5 stars.Being an avid old movie collector, I have looked so forward to having a copy of my own.Well eventually we in South Africa were offered a copy which had to be imported from U.S.A.Excitedly I ordered it.Well of course the movie itself is wonderful and does rate 5 stars. It reflects the complexities of the old south and the civil war admirably. Elizabeth Taylor is incredible as "Susan" the tormented heroin who has fears of negro blood in her ancestry. The cinemtography is sweeping and spectaculer - but Oh My - thats where it ends.The copy I received (imported from U.S.A.) has sub-titles that cannot be turned off. They do not always stay true to the dialogue so are distracting and in fact annoying.Surely a better tribute to a great movie and a great actress could have been produced. Raintree County - Elizabeth -I love you, but what a dis-appointment this copy is.
