A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2007)

Having just viewed the 4 Disc set DVD release, I have to say it is without the best restoration of a movie I have ever seen. As time passes by, I cannot see any movie equaling its beauty and charm. Again one must consider cinema was still in its infancy in 1939. I remember the 50th anniversary release in 1989 having to queue for over 3 hours to see it. Was it worth it ? You bet it was. There has been too much negative reviews over the years regarding the wooden acting, soppy story line, but does "Titanic" fare any better ?. Would Di Caprio and Winslett have made a better Rhett and Scarlett ?. Hardly bares thinking of. Best movie ever? Yep!
