Sneakers

James I checked the UK DVD French langauge track and you are right about those examples where Harrison FordPspeaks French. The exchanges in French are so brief that I never spotted them before. As you say, it does seem odd. This thread is fascinating! Many thanks to everyone. It seems obvious that the U. DVD providesPthe bestPrendition of the movie. What is the picture quality like!P Is it way, way below the Blu-ray? Unfortunately, yes. The picture quality is unwatchable on an HDTV. I popped it in to check, hadnt watched in ages since the days when I owned an old normal TV. It looks like a washed out quicktime movie on an HDTV. And of course it has PAL speedup as well. However the UK DVD, for the time being, is the only way to see the theatrical version of the film in widescreen. And the American pan and scan DVD is Sneakers worse. It is easily the worst looking DVD I have ever seen in my life, much, much worse than even the old 1988 VHS I had.

As you say, it does seem odd. I know, what bewilders me is why this French track was ever created, especially since it has the voices of the actual actors. I can understand a complete dub of the film into French with local actors, like the Spanish and Italian dubs, but this track is a mystery. However, since even the French actors are all clearly moving their lips to the English dialogue throughout, I have to think the legitimate English track is the one that Polanski intended. Location: Bolton, Lancashire I dont suppose theres been any news on this? Have Warner held their hands up? I talked to the same person at Warner a few times after my promising first conversation. Unfortunately I was taken less and less seriously each time, finally being told that nobody else had complained and Sneakers I would have to send in my Blu-Ray for them to check it. I again explained that my own disc is not defective, it is the master from which ALL the Blu-Rays were made that needs to be redone, but I dont think they care at all. I finally gave up, Im sure Id send it in and then either never see it again, or get it back in 6 months, along with a form letter.
