Rating:  - Such BAD quality for a good quality film
This is a classic piece of film. Why the transfer is so bad I don't know. It looks like a super 8 film transfered to VHS, then transfered to DVD. During distant scenes on the banks of the river, John Cleese's face looks like a white blob. There is a definite hum in the sound that obviously suggests this is NOT a digital transfer at all. You can also see video tracking at the bottom of the picture. (This has defintly come from a VHS tape)
I was so looking forward to buying this DVD, and ... Read More
Rating:  - Fun, especially for bassists
This is a film that I had always heard about (I am a professional bassist). It's a cute, relaxed little film based on a Chekhov short story. I suspect it was made for British TV in the '70s. The production value isn't great, but the performances are charming and it's a perfectly pleasant way to spend 40 minutes or so. Bassists and their admirers will enjoy the references to bass stereotypes. Plus, it's fun to watch John Cleese lug around a giant wooden bass case for 30 minutes!
Rating:  - The movie is worth your time and money. This DVD is not.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the poor quality of this particular DVD. I own it and even though I got it fairly cheaply I still feel like I got ripped off. This DVD has been created from a very beat-up copy of the film, full of scratches and other signs of wear and tear. To make matters worse, some of the nudity has been chopped out. To call it "edited" would be putting it too kindly. Whoever was responsible for the cutting simply removed some of the more revealing frames of film, taking ... Read More
Rating:  - Dead Parrot Not Included: Charming Tale About the Princess and the Musican (Both Naked)
After quitting `Monty Python's Flying Circus' in 1973, John Cleese went on to create his best work in his career so far - actually the best comedy ever made in the history of the world. That is `Fawlty Towers,' incredibly funny comedy about the worst hotel and its delightfully arrogant owner Basil Fawlty. It is regrettable that they only made 12 episodes.
`A Romance with a Double Bass,' shot in 1974, prior to the 1st six episodes of `Fawlty,' is NOT the unreleased 13th episode about Basil and ... Read More
Rating: - NOT Fawlty Towers... However,
Definitely a little charmer. Silly situation pulled off very nicely. We definitely liked it. Not even The Brigadier would stop this for being 'too silly.' A fun 40 minutes.
