Movie Reviews of Royal Wedding
Movie Review: Good Times Video--The Best of a Bad Lot
Summary: 3 Stars
Unfortunately, "Royal Wedding", one of the best of the Technicolor MGM musicals, is not available on a high-quality DVD. However, of the several cheap DVDs available, the Good Times Video edition is the best. Not great, with rather poor colors (especially flesh tones), but watchable and well worth the few dollars it costs to hold you over until the film is fully restored and transferred to a good DVD.Movie Review: just okay
Summary: 2 Stars
i love fred astaire so he was the only reason i liked this movie. but if you want and/or need a good fred flick fix, skip Royal Wedding and watch Daddy Long Legs with Leslie Caron or Funny Face with Audrey Hepburn.Movie Review: Great movie, [not pleased with DVD quality]
Summary: 1 Stars
There are two classic Fred Astaire performances in this movie: the dance with the hat rack and his dance on the walls and ceiling. These alone are worth the price of admission. The story is a bit weak and seems mainly an excuse to send the crew to England for the royal wedding of Mountbatten. Still it's very enjoyable....The color consistency [of the DVD version] varies from scene to scene and even within a scene. The picture is never sharp and often displays serious compression artifacts. Goodtimes, the publisher of this mess, includes the disclaimer that the DVD was made "using the best available sources". Best available means some low-quality VHS tape they had sitting in the closet since they had to access to the master film. The audio is also horrible - noisy and jumbled.
...if you want to enjoy this movie, buy the VHS tape - it's far better...
Movie Review: Good movie. Lousy transfer.
Summary: 1 Stars
The other reviewers knew what they were talking about. This DVD may well be a contestant for worst video transfer of all times. I've seen VHS tapes that look better than this production. The tragedy in all of this is centered in the fact that the movie itself contains some truly classic Astaire dance routines. Let's hope that somewhere down the line this movie will get the kind of DVD incarnation it deserves.Movie Review: Royal Weddning

The video works on only one DVD player, the one that is not in my classroom. It sticks at multiple places and of course at the part I want to show my classes. I use this in my Physics class and I never know if it is going to work or not. The return method I could not fiqure out. So I stuck with it and when I need it next year, I'll decide to buy another copy that hopefully might work.
