Rip Off--vhs4less.
Added 1/7/2010
Rip Off--vhs4less. Obviously a copy--blurry, bad sound, glitches on tape. Sold as "nearly new". Yep. It was nearly new and nearly an original, but not an original. Very disappointed and irritated. Won't ever buy from these folks again.

Why isn't this quality film out on DVD yet?

I've enjoyed this film repeatedly, and the witty dialogue and stellar acting never wear thin. If you teach Hamlet, the final scene of this film that performs Hamlet, though truncated to around seven minutes, is great fun for young students after slogging their way through the mighty original. For godssake, please release this on DVD!!

This is an excellent film - just the right mix of humor, fun, drama, and intensity. I have several copies of the VHS version and have been looking for the DVD...but no. It boggles the mind that so much trash is churned out on DVD, yet good entertainment like "A Midwinter's Tale" is consigned to VHS. Go figure. Please release this on DVD.

good film - bad quality
Added 9/14/2007
This is a wonderful gem of a film. Unfortunately, I was unable to find it in a DVD and the VHS copy I did obtain has very bad sound.

A gem that I stumbled onto by accident
Added 4/4/2007
"Crouch we here awhile and lurk." I'll have to remember that the next time I forget my lines on stage! This movie is a delight, and features several of Kenneth Branagh's (apparently) favorite actors that a lot of us recognize by face, if not by name. Not only is it cleverly scripted (albeit fast-moving, so you'll have to stay focused so as not to miss out on the wit!) but it is well-acted and the black-and-white filming gives it a unique perspective. The only misstep, as far as casting, was using Jennifer Saunders (of AbFab fame) as an apparently American Southern movie producer. Otherwise, it's beautifully executed and worth a hundred minutes of your time!
