I could hardly own my eyes when I saw “Lola Montes”, had made its scheme to DVD. I was so thrilled I couldn’t procure my money out hastily enough. Of course, I took for granted that the negative had been restored and the telecine transfer had been made from a recent 35mm interpositive on the Philips “Spirit”. I also took for granted that the best audio facility would have been employed re-record the track of a film this principal cinema history. Well, I was foul on both counts and badly execrable at that. It’s almost as though someone found a 16mm print that had been left outside in a garbage dump for twenty years and mastered it rather than go through the expense of restoring this masterpiece. It is simply the worst looking print and worst sounding track I have ever experienced on VHS or DVD. If you’re hoping to sight one of the world’s colossal films beautifully restored and re-recorded, peep somewhere else.

I can hardly hold how awful the quality of the Fox-Lorber DVD version of this film is. I have the privilege of access to a local University library with an extensive laserdisc and DVD collection, so I was able to search for both this DVD version and the criterion collection’s out of print laserdisc edition of this film. The incompatibility between the quality of the dated laserdisc and this DVD was like night and day – the laserdisc was incomporably better. Why Fox-Lorber does not simply pay for the Criterion print is beyond me. For Fox-Lorber to grasp the DVD rights to this film and then release a version of such shamefully obscene quality is ridiculous – it seems to me alogical, as if though it would have made more sense for Fox-Lorber never to aquire the rights at all. In truth, because I savor this film so considerable, I feel that this DVD is an act of wanton cruelty on Fox Lorber’s portion. I would suppose discriminating viewers to avoid this DVD; I despair because I can now not possess a copy of the film for myself in the forseeable future.
