DVD comments
6 February 2006
The new DVD is great to have - but... If you're hoping for a "restored" image, you won't find it here. The "commentary" audio-track is slightly interesting to have on while you're watching, but if you know anything at all about Garbo you won't learn much from it. Most unfortunately, the new music soundtrack is inexplicably annoying and usually totally unrelated to the action on the screen; the committee that selected it clearly had no idea what they were doing (to put it politely). Even the "commentators" point out that its very odd that there are no quotes from Tosca during the numerous scenes in the film which reference the famous aria "Vissi d'arte", especially the key scene where Garbo's character unexpectedly hears it being played.
