Movie Reviews of Waterloo Bridge -Vivian Leigh-Robert Taylor (All Region) NTSC
Movie Review: why such a classic?
Summary: 3 Stars
I never understood the cult status of this movie. The plot is good and entertaining, but one thing about this movie annoys me - it is supposed to be set in WW1, but the producers have made little or no effort to alter the fashions. People weren`t dressed like that in WW1! Shown is the fashion and ways of 1940. What is the point of making a period piece if you are not sensitive to the changes having occured since the period you want to portray?Movie Review: Great movie, horrible DVD release (warning: spoilers)
Summary: 1 Stars
If I had a choice, I would give this DVD 0 stars out of 5. Waterloo Bridge is one of my favorite movies of all time. When I saw it available on DVD a couple of weeks ago, I bought it immediately through blingshih at Amazon. I was very disappointed when I received it and watched it. First of all, the subtitles are missing throughout part of the movie and has hundreds of spelling and grammatical errors.
But the thing that got me the most mad was that the most important part of the movie was edited out--the scene that gives the movie its name. In the very end, Myra (Vivien Leigh) commits suicide by jumping in front of military trucks. Her fiance, Roy (Robert Taylor), was on one of the trucks. He held her while she was dying and he found her lucky charm and kept it with him for the rest of his life. This scene was glaringly gone in the DVD. The editing in this movie clearly gets an F.
I sincerely hope that a decent DVD release of this classic love story comes out soon. This release slashes up a beautiful movie into small fragments. Take my advice and don't buy it.
