Movie Reviews of Two Women
Movie Review: Don't Buy This One! Amazon should not be selling it!
Summary: 1 Stars
Amazon should not even be selling this horrible DVD.
TWO WOMEN is in the public domain, and a cheapo Canadian company [Madacy] took advantage of that unfortunate reality to market a crummy Region 1 DVD. They simply copied a 16mm subtitled print through a telecine, the worst possible way to create a video master. It provides a cropped image [1.33:1] rather than the 1.78:1 film intended by the great director Vittorio de Sica.
Sophia Loren won an Oscar for best actress, the only time this award has gone to a 'foreign' film.
Sorry folks, I couldn't force myself to sit through this monstrosity of a DVD.
If you understand Italian, you can order the unsubtitled Region 2 PAL DVD with the correct aspect ratio. It's made by Medusa.
Movie Review: Good Movie - Bad DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
One of the main reasons I bought this DVD was that I was under the false impression that I could turn off the subtitles. The technical details list English subtitles as "available," which to my way of thinking means I should be able to dispense with them if I so desire. Not the case with this DVD. The subtitles are stuck on there. I use these movies as language teaching tools, and being able to turn off the subtitles is a major improvement over video tape. This DVD does not do it for me. The technical details on the other DVD edition ...provide even less info.Other than that, this is a very powerful movie, though the picture and sound quality on the DVD are poor.
Movie Review: Great film, disasterous DVD transfer!
Summary: 1 Stars
The film deserves 5 stars, but I'm giving the lowest rating possible because of the terrible video (and audio) master done by Madacy. Anything done by the Madacy company is going to look bad, I bought this DVD at a bargain price without realizing that it was done by Madacy. The DVD transfer looks like a 3rd generation videotape (you can even see the editing markings at the beginning of the film), worst was the badly sound mono audio coming from my left surround speaker instead of the center, which made this DVD too distracting to watch...what was up with that?
Madacy should be ashamed for constantly putting up poor quality to the unsuspecting customer.
Movie Review: A Pallid Disgrace
Summary: 1 Stars
Charles Baudelaire, commenting on the scabrous obituaries of Edgar Allan Poe in American contemporary press, asked "Is there no by-law in America to prevent dogs from entering cemeteries?" One might well ask the same of the producers of this disgraceful DVD. It does no justice whatever to Vittorio De Sica, Sophia Loren, or anyone who wishes to see this film with its plenitudinous glories intact. This DVD should be banned for its unparalleled stupidity.Movie Review: an unwatchable transfer
Summary: 1 Stars
I checked this Madacy Entertainment release of Two Women out from the public library. THANK GOD I didn't waste any money on it. This release is just horrible: The transfer is blurry, the sound is poor, the titles are blurry. I jumped ahead a few scenes to see if it was this way throughout the film. Yes, it looks that way. don't waste your time or money.
