4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but not perfect, May 31 2000
By A Customer
What a wonderful and fun DVD! The images are fascinating, the narration is delightful and informative, but there is one annoying problem. Many times throughout they make reference to the 50 second length of all the films, but, unfortunately, on this recording they only last 40 seconds BECAUSE THEY WERE RECORDED AT THE WRONG SPEED! The Chapter numbers also don't match up with the table of contents. But over all, this is a very worthwhile and enjoyable DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars TREASURE!!!, Oct 24 1999
By rkass (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
Imagine seeing beautiful moving images from the 1890's! It's fascinating to see the buildings, clothing, and vehicles of the time.

The prints are very clear, and the commentary by Bertrand Tavernier is amusing. This is clearly a production that was made with care and love.

I'm submitting this review in the hope that sales of this wonderful disc will increase, allowing Image Entertainmment and Kino Video to continue to produce such treasures.
