Great movie, poor DVD!

"this is a great film about a upper class family in italy during the waning years of world war two. I will not delve to far into the plot, etc. due to the fact that this DVD seems to be a low quality dupe of the film, rather than a studio release. while it is a clean transfer the contrast is not as good as it should be. the worst factor is that on two of my three DVDs ( a sony and a philips) players the sound is NOT AUDIBLE after chapter 6. only one of my DVD players (a panasonic) can play the sound all the way through. beware. I would wait to see another release by a major sutdio before investing in a DVD of this truely great film."
The Sky is Falling and so is Facets business

"How can a company take a great product and turn it into garbage? Well Facets Video issued this splendid DVD with audio that does not work past chapter 6. I tried it on several players. I spoke to Cris at Facets, 800 331-6197 and they are aware of the problem but do not seem to care. Be careful in buying any of their products,"

"This DVD goes silent starting in chapter 6. The sound doesn't work! What a joke. Save your money."
