Review: If you are reading this, you will forgive me if I don't make a review of the film itself. It is one of the better-known and more talked about films ever. It's one of those films "everyone" has seen. But if you are reading this, more likely than not you are thinking of buying it. And you should. It is one of the best DVDs releases ever, and certainly the best of classic film I have ever seen. There are no adjectives that make justice to the quality of the picture, especially if you remember the film from an old print or a VHS tape. The detail is incredible. The colours amazing. (If you live in London it's the same copy that was release at the NFT in December 2004.) And then the extras: there is a two hour long documentary about the making of the film, a 2004 interview with Olivia de Havilland (who played Melanie), one documentary on Vivien Leigh, one on Gable, trailers and many others which will keep you busy for a while. You even get a replica of the souvenir programme of the original release. It's as good as it gets, and just wonderful. I had a few troubles not to buy the previous release, but I can assure you the wait was well worth it. |
