    5 out of 5 stars Video quality not that bad 5 stars for the movie 3 for dvd.   November 28, 2008

    The above reviewer lambastes the DVD quality. I bought this anyway. Although a far cry from hi def, the video was more than watchable. The movie itself is so riveting the you get lost in it and don't notice any flaws in the DVD. Powers Boothe gives a performance of a lifetime (although just about everything he does is a performance of a lifetime). It is impossible to watch this without being touched deeply.
    Aristotle said that the purpose of tragedy is to produce a catharsis in the viewer. This movie does that and then some.


    2 out of 5 stars Beware - this DVD is awful quality!!!   November 25, 2008

    Buyer should beware that the quality of this DVD is terrible. The sound is very muffled and the video is terrible with many jumps and gaps. It looks like someone taped it off of TV and then let the tape sit in the basement for 30 years. I can't emphasize enough how awful the quality of this DVD is.
