Registered: Aug 1999 posted 10-29-2004 06:56 AM                     Got a look at this one last night. For the most part, Gigi looked really good. There was some pre-print issues especially in the MGM logo at the beginning. Couldn't they have removed the white specks around the MGM lion? The final reel of the film has fading issues. It's too bad that the last hurrah of the MGM musicals has to be the one that has problems. The DVD is from Warner Home Video. The stereo sound is a bit hissy, but it sounded nice, especially the orchestra recordings. I'd buy a copy for the music.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-29-2004 06:37 PM                     Its a great film and even the Laser Disk I have looks and sounds pretty good. I wonder if this is a new mastering or just a rehash of whats on my laser disk. This film suffers a tiny bit from the anamorphic mumps but its not real bad. Cetainly much more worthwhile than wasting time with "The Jazz Singer"! Mark  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular.

A creaky movie that happens to have sound. I like most films that I see for one reason or another... Seeing some films gets me Others get me  |  IP: Logged
