[quote="Brent_Reid"]Cheers Eric. Sorry to kep this one going, but I've just noticed some other mistakes in the DVD listing:
The MGM, Eureka and Force listings have the footnote "DVD title: March of The Wooden Soldiers." This is redundant and should be removed, as [i]all[/i] home video releases carry this title!
The second Eureka listing is just a repackage of the first listed disc and shouldn't be listed separately. Instead, it should be removed and a note added to the first: [b]Also available in a 2-DVD set [Amazon link] with "Bogus Bandits" (1933).[/b]
The page footnotes as a whole are a little repetitive and outdated; clearly the result of multiple editors adding to them over time. I suggest replacing all of them with:
[b]OVERALL: Draw
- The US MGM DVD has the best quality transfer, but is barebones.
- The identical R2 and R4 Eureka and Force DVDs have an extra Stan Laurel short.
- The US Goodtimes DVD has a good quality transfer of the 1991 colorization and some relevant extras.
General Notes:
There are a large number of budget, supposedly "public domain" releases, but these feature a poor quality 73-minute edited print, and are best avoided.[/b][/quote]
Do you know the running time of the Eureka discs? OFDB says 77 minutes but that would mean it is either NTSC (like recent combo DVD side releases) or NTSC-to-PAL conversion.
