Not as
bad as the first two CalcuttaWeb DVDs that we reviewed (Jana
Aranya and
The King of Diamonds),
but, of course, far from perfect. A stable image (no flick on bottom
indicating bootlegged from Video), nice clean, although occasionally
inaccurate, subtitles. The image is washed-out , a shade dark, but much
sharper than the other 2 with very minimal scratches and damage showing.
This is the only available DVD version of this entertaining film, but we
hope another comes along soon. |
