What was Columbia Thinking?, 16 June 2006
10/10
Author: PrairieCal from USA

I love reading the IMDb user reviews of this film. Everyone either loved it or hated it. I'm one of the ones who loved it ... and so did my kids in 1982 when it was released. One reviewer says Carol Burnett grated on his nerves; I thought she deserved an academy award. One calls Aileen Quinn an ugly little kid; I thought she was perfect for the part including her real and natural looks. Certainly her talent was unquestionable. And several reviewers trash not only the movie but John Huston's direction; I feel this energetic, magical, "alive" film ranks right up there with the energy in "Annie Get Your Gun" and "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers."

My only negative comment is what in the hell was Columbia thinking when they recently released a "Special Anniversary Edition" of this wide screen extravaganza in a Full Screen Format only? What idiot was responsible? Equally disturbing is the fact that it doesn't seem to have been remastered or restored. And to add insult to injury the sound is pretty pathetic including the "DTS" audio track. Whoever is responsible for this DVD should be fired and driven from the film industry in tar and feathers.
