Format:DVD
I love this film, but I'll confine this review to the wretched DVD. I own hundreds of DVDs and this is without a doubt the worst quality of them all. The colors are all faded and the transfer is not in the proper aspect ratio.
Worse, the 4% PAL speed-up is really noticable because the film is filled with well-known pop songs, always the worst victims of speed-up, which sound like they're being sung by The Chipmunks on this DVD.
Luckily the film has been released on DVD in the US, in a fantastic looking widescreen version, and it's NTSC, so there's no speed-up. I bought it and sold my copy of this release, which is garbage.

Yes, yes, excellent film and all that. Granted. But I would like to warn everybody that the technical quality of this DVD doesn't at all do justice to the artistic quality of the content. The picture is grainy (yes, grainy, which is particularly weird in a DVD), it looks positively awful on any screen larger than a laptop, the 4:3 format is disappointing, and there are absolutely no frills (extra features), not even subtitles or chapter overview. A film of this quality deserves a much better DVD.

This is a classic ensemble cast piece that the british cinema does so well. I bought the DVD because I wore out the tape. It is worth it for the sound track alone. Great cast performing at the top of their game...
