Negative Positive
Title: 5-star movie, 0-star DVD transfer
Review: What a huge disappointment this 2003 DVD reissue is. It's in non-anamorphic widescreen, which basically means that the letterbox bars are part of the image signal. HDTV owners with 16:9 sets will be most affected, but anyone who plan on upgrading to HDTV anytime in the future should avoid making this DVD a part of their permanent library. People with newer-model, higher-end standard definition TV's will also be negatively impacted. Why did Warners go to all the trouble of reissuing this classic without doing a better job?The film itself is one of the finest musicals ever made. If you're a fan, consider renting to get your Cabaret fix. If you feel you must buy it, plan on selling this edition at a future garage sale when the next reissue comes out.
