That's it, I've bought my last classic MGM title.
The other day I bought one of Burt Lancaster's best performances, "Elmer Gantry".
It's about many things...a snake of a man who do anything to survive, he has no respect for himself or anyone else. It's about a woman who truly feels the power of god. It's about revenge, religion, it asks the question of profit through religion, shows truth through both sides...and ultimately self is found, but at what cost?
MGM gives us another LD transfer that's soft and slightly out of focus, every so often the picture's contrast changes, shadow detail is almost none existent, and there are frames with burn marks.
The sound track is intelligible and that's about it.
At twenty bucks MGM can Kiss my...elbow
I suppose I could be a good little soldier and say "gee, I'm just glad to have it on DVD"...not this time...Kenny
