Customer Reviews

Excellent film--horrible dvd
This is an excellent film, well woth seeing. The dvd is probably the worst technically I have ever seen. Colors shift, focus drifts, I cannot understand how anyone could make such a miserable copy and then have the nerve to sell it without labeling it "SUBSTANDARD".

Great movie...pity about the DVD
This movie made by former Bond director Peter (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) Hunt and starring then 007 Roger Moore has all the hallmarks of a great fun action thriller. Yet, the action doesn't seem to truly pick up until the latter part of the movie when things start to go terribly wrong in a South African gold mine.
The plot - for what it's worth - revolves around plans to increase the value of gold stocks by flooding a gold mine in Africa, and the machinations employed to keep the manager of the mine (played by Moore) suitably distracted and away from the location to allow the villains plot to succeed.
A great cast supports Moore in this piece including Susannah York and Sir John Gielgud and it moves at a fair pace. The troubling aspect about this movie (and the reason I give it only four stars) is the poor treatment that has been afforded the picture on the DVD - it really does deserve to be redone and remastered.

Gold-More like nickel!
I have to say how dissapointed I was when I recieved my DVD copy of Gold last week 3 march 2001. The movie itself is an absolute classic with Roger in fine form as Rod Steiner. However the quality of the Disc is just totally ..... period. The picture jumps the colours are awful and the sound also jumps. My old video copy that I taped from the tv and played hundreds of times is far superior to this. I noticed on the availability list that there are two prices listed for this DVD. I purchased the one priced at us$6.99. If anyone has purchased the more ....... copy please e-mail me to let me know what the quality of this as I might decide to purchase it.
