"My all-time favorite movie. Worst copy of any movie I've ever seen on any DVD or VHS. However, I e-mailed the manufacturer, and a representative said that he agreed, and that that copy should never have been released. He said that they are coming out with a much better one. ...

Truly worthless.

"Thirty seconds into Cyrano (murkier than any presentation I ever saw on television), I started skipping around in it to see if the quality improved. When it didn't, I hit the Stop button, only to be stunned by the image of the, um, "busty" female mentioned in an earlier review. What on earth were the folks at "Marengo Films" thinking? Were they thinking at all? I cannot imagine.This DVD has no redeeming feature. I've never been so disappointed with a product, and I hope that someone else releases a good copy of the Ferrer film, because it deserves far better than this."
A disservice to a classic

"I was initially excited to get Ferrer's Cyrano de Bergerac, a role for which he rightfully got an Oscar. Unfortunately, Marengo Films did an extremely POOR job of transferring to DVD, with the film jittering and the sound garbled in many places. No attempt was made to clean or restore the film, so the overall experience is disappointing."

"To all of you fantastic people who bought this version of Cyrano... please e-mail us via our website at marengofilms.com. We recalled this DVD months ago. Cyrano is a fantastic hero and we found a fantastic version which we paired with The Son of Monte Cristo... a far superior film to Captain Scarlett.It would be our pleasure to furnish this new DVD to you free of charge... just send us your old Cyrano... we will include another DVD alongside Cyrano as our way of letting you know that we appreciate your business and would be humbled to keep you as a customer.Cyrano would do no less and neither will we...Craig Cosgray President Marengo Films"
Poor quality

"This version of Cyrano is my favorite, but the quality of this DVD is very poor - the video is dark and grainy. I have a VHS published by Republic Pictures Home Video which is totally superior.Also, on my Sony DVD player this DVD overwrites the internal image the player displays when you hit 'stop' - with a picture of a busty woman. Totally unprofessional.AVOID, and hope someone else puts this wonderful film out on DVD."
