This is filmed mainly in HD and includes interviews with Leslie Caron and others who made the film. There are also some very interesting extras which include an early 'Tom & Gerry' carton, a complete version of the original 1949 French version of Gigi (non-musical) and a very informative film on the making of this version. Such detail! The sound quality had also been much improved although this was less obvious than the benefit in video quality. Fabulous revitalised colours and a pin sharp picture for most of the time. Last night we watched this wonderful film in the Blu-ray version. I know that you can make slight adjustments on modern home cinema equipment but the synchronistion is often too far out to be corrected.Įureka! Problem solved on every Blu-ray disc that I have bought and in particular with the Blu-ray version of Gigi. 'There's Something About Mary' and 'Prelude to a Kiss' are examples of bad lip synch and sadly the ordinary Gigi dvd is equally bad. However, in some cases on ordinary dvd's the sychronisation is out by nearly half a second. I know that I am more susceptible to this problem than many others. To my amazement this is a problem that is rarely discussed in Amazon reviews or indeed anywhere else. Imagine my disappointment when I bought the ordinary dvd to show on my new large projection screen home cinema! To some extent the quality was acceptable when viewed on a standard size television but the picture imperfections were clear as soon as it was magnified on an 8 foot screen! And then there was the problem of the lip synch. As a young man I adored the film and would seek out cinemas to watch the film again and again. I have been a fan of Gigi for more years than I care to remember. For many films they are worlds apart and Gigi is no exception. One of my rare criticisms of Amazon would be their failure to distinguish between reviews of ordinary dvd's and that of a Blu-ray update.
