Not thrilled with this DVD I was so excited when I saw that this film was available on DVD. As a huge fan of Julie Andrews, this is one of only a few of her films that I hadn't seen.
I bought it immediately, but was disappointed. The film isn't great, but it's not bad. I'm glad I own it because I love Julie, but it's not one of my favorites.
It's the DVD presentation that I'm most unhappy about. First of all, throughout a great deal of the film, the sound and picture are not in synch. There also aren't any scene divisions on the disc. It's just one big scene, and you have to fast forward to get to a certain place.
If you're a fan of Julie Andrews, you'll want this in your collection, but otherwise don't bother. Hopefully a better quality edition will be released someday.
