Format:DVD
Another gem from Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. Matthau as a hit man and Lemmon getting in the way of things . Some very funny scenes . Obviously not as good as their classics , Grumpy Old Men and The Odd Couple , but still worth adding to your collection. What a pity they didn't make Even Grumpier Old Men .

Great Movie, ok DVD

This is not considered Jack Lemmon's and Walter Matthau's best film but it is one of my favorites. This DVD is, as far as I can tell at this time, the only legal copy of the film you can purchase not on VHS. For any English speaking viewers reading this, there is an English audio track if you do not want to listen to the movie in Spanish. The DVD is in a PAL format, which is non-standard for the United States. If you are in the US or another DVD Region 1 country you will need a PAL compatible DVD or BlueRay player or you will need PAL compatible DVD software. I have found that the current Mac OSX DVD player has no problem with PAL. For Windows users you will need the current VLC or similar DVD software.
I watched the DVD on my MAC, which is plugged into my 42" LCD TV via a DVI cable. The video was smooth but fuzzy and lacked fine detail, also colors were muted. It was not any worse than watching on an older non-flat screen TV but is a noticeable when compared to more recent movies that were encoded in the last few years. The DVD has none of the extraneous material most modern DVD's and and BlueRay disk's have. There is no Director's commentary or making of, just the movie. And best of all, no previews. Just pop the movie in and hit play.

I love this movie,one of the best of these two actors projects together,however this spanish release is only ok,sound is mono no problem,but picture is 2.35,which even on a 37 inch tv like I have it`s a bit tight to watch,why the film industry does not use the standard blu ray widescreen of 2.40 on everything is a pain,however my vhs copy had already worn out the left channel,so this dvd is still miles better,if you want an old style laugh then get this film,much better than alot of new so could comadies,why the us and uk dvd firm`s will not put out a proper release is a crime.
Could be better!

I was also searching this film for some time now. Have seen it on TV once in French and enjoyed greatly -and I really wanted to see it again. However, once I had the opportunity to see it on DVD, I did not have the same impression of entertainment or fun. Anyway, my watching mood should not reduce its qualities. I recommend it as a relatively fun film, an entertaining plot but could have done certainly better (for ex. Peter Sellers in The Party).
Final recommendation:
No need to spend more than necessary if you're still in search of this DVD. It costs really high and the art work at the end, does not worth that much.
