W.C. Fields, Vol. 1 & 2 Reviews
Sloppy presentation detracts from classical comedy
The six short subjects on this double dvd set represent, I am led to believe, the total short subject output of the great W.C. Fields. I did not expect a crystal clear video image, as these items are about 70 yrs old, although overall the quality is not that bad. Similarly, the audio track, while a bit "crackly" at times, was quite acceptable. What did make me threaten the life span of the TV, player and disc however, was the lack of sinc between the video and audio tracks. It is rather off putting to find a second or so difference between what you see "being said", and what you actually hear. You feel you are watching a poorly dubbed foreign film. The comedy is still very appealing, but this attention to fine detail on the part of the makers of the set leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
A General Rule of Thumb
Hmmmm....
If it's from Madacy, you will be MAD when you SEE what you paid for.
Before transferring a movie to video, these people would put a pristine print through a blender just to make sure their standards don't deviate.
Madacy=Garbage
This is one of those DVD's that doesn't deserve one star but it's as low as I could go.
