Customer Reviews

Film is 5 stars, DVD is bah! "Gold" is a great flick
This mid-70's film is genuinely enjoyable and dramatic. The music is great (with a high-energy title song and 70's disaster flick chick Maureen McGovern doing a great love theme in the middle of the film). Roger Moore gives perhaps one of his two or three great non-Bond performances. But don't buy it until it's done right in widescreen with a solid remastering job. It's a real shame that wasn't done first time out. This is a genuinely good film with a small cult following.

Another disappointing DVD transfer-RATS!!!
I really enjoy this movie (it's one of my favorite Moore roles), but we're STILL waiting for a remastered, widescreen version of the complete movie without missing blips of dialogue (and this may never happen). This latest version is no better than some of the earlier VHS tapes/DVDs. Don't be fooled.

Roger Moore and Peter Hunt Deliver an Outstanding Film
After Peter Hunt directed ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE he left the Bond series. This was Hunt's best directorial effort since then. Roger Moore gives a standout performance as an engineer working for a gold mine in South Africa. The beautiful Susannah York provides the love interest. The sort of likeable Bradford Dillman is the villain of the piece. At a time when composer Elmer Berstein seemed to be struggling between genres he came up with one of his most innovative and beautiful scores including a rousing vocal main title. This is a good film supported by an intelligent script with a well thought out plot. Well acted.
