1.0 out of 5 stars at last, a review of this ripoff, 1 Jan 2004
By Paul P. Heffernan - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Murphy's War [DVD] [1971] (DVD)
I see you have finally chosen to print a mildly unfavourable review of this appalling transfer. You ignored my submission many months ago when I bought this appalling travesty of a DVD transfer and I suppose you will ignore this email also. I tried to give the transfer no stars because of the outrageously low quality and the overlooked and unadvertised fact that it is FULL SCREEN!! I believe that morally and legally you owe it to your customers to at least caution them about this DVD. I notice you now offer them the substantially better region version 1 also and this is the version I recommend to those who value this movie, as I do. Wasted my money on the UK dud though!

3.0 out of 5 stars POOR DVD TRANSFER OF A PLOTLESS BORE, 5 Dec 2003
This review is from: Murphy's War [DVD] [1971] (DVD)
When I first saw this film on the T.V. I remember finding it highly entertaining. So years later I bought it on DVD.
A bit of a mistake really as the only good bits are the carnage of the sinking boat at the beginning and Murphy screaming 'Fly you Bastard fly!' as he is giving himself a hands on flying lesson.
Apart from that his Irishness gets a bit annoying and the plotline is less complicated then an episode of Bugs Bunny.
My other grumble is that the 'F' word was crudely dubbed out twice as if BBC2 were showing the film one Sunday afternoon! also the picture is pretty grainy although the original negative was supposed to have been cleaned up! what did they use sandpaper?
There are so many better films that have yet to be released on DVD. But I suppose they think that some Wally out there will buy it. Hell, I did!

1.0 out of 5 stars Out with it., 21 April 2009
This review is from: Murphy's War [DVD] [1971] (DVD)
This is a pan and scan version of a Cinemascope film. I wouldn't even take the cellophane wrapper off. Throw it out.

4.0 out of 5 stars An overlooked classic
Yes, this is a criminally poor transfer, 4:3, grainy and a scratchy print and yet ... Murphy's War is a great film with a stand-out performance from O'Toole. Read more
