Summary: CLASSIC FILM - BAD WB DVD
Review: Warner Brothers obviously doesn't care about their film library. This fact shines when you consider their DVD of "National Velvet". This wonderful film features beautiful early color photography, outstanding performances from the likes of Donald Crisp, Mickey Rooney and the young Liz Taylor, a stunning score and a faithful adaptation of a beloved children's book. WB celebrates this gem, which any other studio would love to have in their archive, by releasing an overpriced, no-frills DVD which was struck from the WORST print imaginable: scratches, drop-outs, discoloration, out of focus footage etc... abound, in addition to a muted, garbled soundtrack + no special features (not even the Theatrical Trailer promised on the box!), even though the two stars are still alive!!

Shame on WB. This edition is thankfully out of print. Here's hoping for a special edition with a commentary before Taylor and Rooney have passed on.
