Customer Reviews

Great job! But where's the Orson Welles version too??
This is a Great job done restoring and delivering these two fine films.
I am so sad that these brilliant versions on the 2 disc set didn't include
the Orson Welles English dub selection as an option select on the menu. Very surprised actually because that famous version is so well done too.
It is quite well done and is sorely missed on the DVD set. If you have seen the fine film, "The Miracle of Marcelino" ,which is also famous for the english dub version, done very well, offers both versions on it's DVD. Anyway, this DVD set is great to have and generally you would need nothing more, but anyone who knows the classic Orson Welles narrated version/dub will calmly sigh when they're happy to have this DVD, but so sad not to find it there with them there too like a perfect family. But, Enjoy! And somebody, Please, make the other one for the people too. Thank You.

Charm, character, and wit.
These are almost perfect adaptations of the beautiful books by Guareschi. There is a sly wit and a timeless humanity in these movies that will make you feel better about the world and your fellow man. Funny and touching and full of faith.

God Bless you always
