Madame X [DVD]

Bought this early as a present to ensure I got it for the person who loved this film. However when she went to play it it was in german with english subtitles. I was unable to return this as I was out of time therefore I had to look for an other one. The fact it was in german was not clearly stated in description on website. Had to throw in bin.

Was pleased with this

I have a standard definition of this DVD but when I saw it was also available in high definition I wanted to upgrade as it is such a good film. I was concerned, however, at some of the reviews about it being in Italian/French with foreign headlines where the newspaper headlines are used in the film. I contacted the seller, therefore, who was most helpful and promptly replied that these reviews do not refer to his films and assured me it was in English. The Blu-ray arrived quickly and was as expected. For a 1966 film the HD was good, in English, with English newspaper headlines. Very happy. I defy anyone not to shed a tear at the end of this film !!!

I bought this film because it's a classic. The only minor moan I have with this version is that the film appears ever so slightly out of focus (the picture quality reminds me of old VHS recordings!) - hence the 4 star rating. One other thing, although the film is English, whenever newspaper clippings are shown as part of the film (you'll know what I mean if you've ever seen the film), they are translated on screen in Italian subtitles - something I wasn't expecting. None of this however, stopped me from enjoying the movie though. The end always makes me weep!

Why German

It was good to be able to eventually obtain this great classic film, with an amazing performance from Lana Turner. It's been produced by an Italian supplier, but is in the original (English) soundtrack, with Italian subtitles that can be swtiched off (and are only shown against newspaper article scenes, which is not a problem). Despatch and quality of DVD is very good.

Loved this film was waiting on it coming on tv but never happened .

Isaw Madam X as a young girl and willnever forget the experince, it is a picture that every one I know saw it has the same thing to say it is and always will be a great story in as much the lengths a mother will go to protect her child even the baddy loved her child, but I hope that no one I know today would ever go to those lengths, I have been looking for this picture for forty years and now I feel the wait was worth while thank you for some of the old great pictures you have brought happness to at this time in my life .Again thank you very very much.
