 Our Town DVD November 30, 2009
David V. Claterbaugh (Lewisville, TX United States)
This Broadway play, "Our Town", has been one of my favorites for over 50 years. In the late fifties I missed the TV performance with Frank Sinatra and have always regreted it. This version was all I expected and more. This movie was released during the early forties, but with new technologies it was as clear as could be and the sound was almost as good as a new CD. It was worth the cost and I would not hesitate to buy other movies in this series.

 Don't Buy the Miracle Pictures Edition November 3, 2009
Thesmothete (Port Angeles, WA, USA)
The picture quality of the Miracle Pictures DVD edition of "Our Town" is absolutely abysmal--almost completely unwatchable; the Dolby sound quality is quite good. The Monterey VHS edition of the film has a much better picture if slightly worse sound.
DVD Horrible quality September 13, 2009

The technical quality of this DVD was horrible. Hard to understand dialogue. Picture quality poor.
 Warning Spoiler--Not Our Town Ending August 13, 2009

I saw this on TV or got it from the library on VHS I think. I had seen the play with Robbie Benson on TV so I wanted to see how this older version compared. Well, they changed the ending in this version which spoils the whole point of the story. So if you have not seen any version, stop reading this review. Anyway, Emily doesn't die in this version. It's a dream. The whole point of this great Thornton Wilder play (I read it in high school, too.) is that people don't appreciate life, they don't stop and smell the roses. They don't savor every moment of their lives. It's not really a happy ending since one of the main characters dies young, but the play is supposed to make you think and look at your life and enjoy every precious moment. I think since Emily doesn't die in this version, it lessens the effectiveness of the message of the play. Find another version that is true to the original is my advice.

Saw this film when it first came out almost 70 years ago as a teenager and 10 years later attended a revival of the play in New York.Has always been my favorite American play.For some reason never had it on VHS so this is the first time I've owned a copy and what a great print it is.I thought I was sitting in the movie theatre watching it.Thank's for making it available at such a low price.
