Disappointed - By: A Customer, 30 Dec 2007
Like Simono I too was disappointed by the Cinemascope. In fact we did not bother watching it as it only took up the centre third of the television screen.

Same with DVD of Guys & Dolls, like looking through a letter box. Did not watch that either.

Amazon should point out the significance of Cinemascope. We cannot be the only people to suffer with this.
Disappointed at Cinemascope aspect ! - By: Simono, 22 May 2007
Being a novice at buying DVD's, I didn't realise there were so many different aspect ratios. I love this musical & the songs are great, but the viewing was spoilt by only filling up about half my TV screen. My auto aspect showed this film on 14:9 Zoom & I could only stretch this slightly with my 16:9 Zoom aspect. I wanted this film so much so I tried to see what the difference was with the version released in 2006. Disappointingly, it doesn't give the details on Amazon's or any other websites descriptions. I have now ordered the Special 2 disc DVD as this offers both 2.55:1 & 1.85:1 versions, so should solve my problem. However, I'm annoyed that if there is a single disc of 1.85:1 it is not described as such & I will now have a spare 2.55:1 disc to give away. Very enjoyable film - remembered from my youth!
Favourite Musical Ever! - By: , 09 Feb 2006
I Don't think the other person who wrote a review actuallly listened to the film.....Its Milly not Molly & the Brothers are Adam, Benjamin, Calib, Daniel, Ephraim, Frank(insesce) & Gideon.
Howard Keel & Co. are as spectacular as ever- The dancing, acrobatics & athleticism alll contribute to an overalll fun-filled exhibition & a fantastic story.
I must have watched this film about 30 times & it still doesn't get boring- there is always something new to see in the background or you notice a new dancing step from another brother. It is not very often that you find such a multi-talented cast alll in one place!

I can't remember the first time I saw this wonderful musical, but I will never forget the incredible talent of the actors, the extremely impressive choreography & the classic songs that stick in your mind for weeks. It is definately one of the best musicals I have ever seen & I believe it will live on in our minds & hearts for many years to come. Definately a musical not to be missed!

I recently purchased a used copy of this film from Amazon. I had seen it many years ago & thoroughly enjoyed watching it again. The singing is delightful & the dancing is matchless. Some of the scenery looks rather false & not up to present day standards but, if you can ignore that, the film is well worth watching for the talents of the stars.
