Movie Reviews of The Letter
Movie Review: DVD was a disappointment
Summary: 3 Stars
Yes, the 1940 Bette Davis version is great. But, the advance advertising of coupling the 1940 version with the 1929 Jeanne Eagles version is what led me to pre-order this DVD. It's hard for me to believe that Warner Home Video and web sites describing this DVD did not know of the "alleged" legal issues with the 1929 version prior to the January 11th release date. These DVDs, cover art, and cover content are not manufactured, distributed, and shipped overnight. I suspect the omission of the 1929 version was known at least a month or two ago. I also suspect that interest in the 1929 version prompted re-thinking of including it for free in the release of the Bette Davis version compared to marketing it alone as a future separate DVD (and additional income). This is the last time I pre-order a DVD.
