5.0 out of 5 stars DVD is in Dolby Surround Stereo, 1 Jun 2006
By Lee Eng Kong "Terence Lee" (George Town, Penang Malaysia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I hesitated for so long before finally purchasing this DVD due to the negative reviews posted. Finally I bought it as there is a discount of 54%. Guess what? The DVD is in Dolby Surround Stereo and not MONO as stated. On my home theatre system, I can hear Streisand's voice on my centre speaker whereas the other sounds come from the left and right speakers as well as my rear speakers.
The image is in widescreen. I don't remember the aspect ratio in the cinemas so I cannot comment if the image has been cropped. The quality of the image is excellent with very minor specks. At the present discounted price, this DVD is a real bargain. Who knows when the Streisand colour-approved DVD will be released in USA. Even "A Star Is Born" has been delayed so many times. Why wait when this DVD is a quality product?

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY!!! AT LAST!!! THE WAIT IS OVER!!!, 23 Mar 2005
By Dr. Jose Santos Carvalho (Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One cannot possibly fathom why this has been released on DVD only now! Possibly one of the least understood films of all times. You love it or you hate it! I love it (always have, since chilhood), but most of you don't! But dispite everything, whatever one thinks, the score is just the best EVER on a movie!!! Camp? Yes! Barbra is everywhere? That too (and good for her)! A personal theme? No doubt! But I can relate to it, although I'm not a Jew myself. But that's only the underlining of the movie. It is about so much more than that! It's about loss, about the will to improve, fight against odds, the questioning of your preordained place in the "scheme of things"! All that with Vintage song writing, uniquely sung by Barbra, at her very best (the 23 second high note at the end of the movie will tell you all there is to know about singing)! For me, no doubt, on of the lauches of the year, long long overdue, and I can't wait to hear it in Dolby 5.1 (I hope)! If you enjoy it half of what I'm sure to, you're in for a wonderful time! And Barbra, by the way, welcome back...!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Stop complaining. Amazon UK info is correct !, 14 Mar 2006
This film is in 1.66:1 WIDESCREEN (not full frame!). The problem, as in many MGM 1.66-format releases, is that it is NOT ANAMORPHIC. Image is very good, though.

The audio is a clear 2.0 MONO. Quite rare for a 80's film. Even more for a musical! Even more for a Streisand-singing musical! The CD is in stereo but the film isnt! Oh, well...

And for what I know (in March 2006) there is no other better release, nor in Australia nor in France.
