Title: Fine movie, but terrible video quality in the dvd version
Review: I previously owned this movie on VHS tape. I watched it several times, played it for friends, and enjoyed it thoroughly. I never read the book, but I suspect this is a good adaptation. It's long enough to contain a lot of detail and subplot. I especially like Tom Courtenay's over-the-top portrayal of the villain Quilp. Peter Ustinov, Edward Fox (in a small role as Ustinov's brother), and the girl who plays Little Nell are also very good. Many small roles are memorably acted. If you like Dickens and period pieces, it's a very good show.I then purchased this movie on DVD to keep it in my collection, and I was very disappointed. The video quality is far inferior to that of the earlier VHS tape. Having experienced the VHS version, I consider the DVD version unwatchable. Basically, they took a long movie and squeezed it onto a single disc. A pity!
