One incredibly positive review. Any doubts I had are gone. I am buying.

Well it is not really a review yet, just a preview. However it does sound positive.

 

[Frank J Manrique]

According to the posted pics, it really looks nice. But did I see a hint of EE too? Umm...

It'll be great to have this one on DVD. If its an excellent transfer, I'll be a happy camper. Its such a classic. This is yet another classic that I last saw on VHS on a 27" TV, so it'll be great to see it on the big screen.

Yeah- i will own this DVD no matter what- i consider it one of the greatest films ever made...a fitting climax to David Lean's trifecta (Kwai, Lawrence, and Zhivago)


But- i am not buying it because of the initial post's link. The reviewer- does not review this disc- just previews it.

Ahhh, life is good!!!!


Now who's gonna be selling this disk before the 6th, I can't wait!!!

Actress Julie Christie again in her youthful splender, is what I would buy the disc for Omar Sheriff is okay. I liked him in another thriller more, any one seen Richard Harris star with Shariff in "Juggernaut"?

I'm with brunsiv on this one. Zhivago is one of my favorite all-time films. First Citizen Kane and now this. I have to keep my eyes peeled for other timeless classics.

The reviewers at thebigpicture are good guys - but they don't seem to see EE - not that it's there, but a glowing review from TBP doesn't mean that it's not.

Best,

Bob

My copy of Dr. Zhivago on DVD is on its way here.

I am planning to do a tech overview and post my impressions shortly after I view the new video transfer.


I am looking forward to watch Lean's classic epic film with great anticipation!...

And don't forget the The Godfather, or you might end up sleeping with the fishes!

If anyone is interested I have the laserdisc edition of this great movie for sale. GF.

 

[Grosse Fatigue]

Rachael, Brett, not interested?? Laserdiscs are much better than DVDs

 

[Ken Beck]

I hope it doesn't make me throw up like the 70mm version in the Cinerama theater did.

 

[Frank J Manrique]

Ken,


What did you see in that 70mm exhibition that made you throw up?

Grosse, I've got the nicest LD set they made and was never impressed with it. The extras are nice though, but the film looked so-so. I want the DVD. Best wishes!

Dean,


It's an offer I did not refuse. I just forgot to mention it.

[Ken Beck]

Frank, I think it was motion sickness .

 

[Grosse Fatigue]

Rachael, Is that what you have? Anyway music is better on Laserdiscs

 

[Rachael Bellomy]

Grosse, that would be ze vune I's hab!! I would imagine that they will use the same sound mix for the new DVD. Let's hope MGM gives one of their better efforts on the video. Come to think of it, let's hope they don't spoil the audio either. Some of their releases lack, partcularly in the audio department. Since they already have a 5.1 mix, let's hope they can't screw it up! My nephew will love his copy of the LD.....Best wishes!
