Opening Remarks: When I saw this DVD, I was tempted to buy it.
When I found out that it was only $20, I had to buy it.

Movie Quality: This film is an utter classic. If you don't know
the plot, shame on you. Go watch one of the versions of this
film. Be it the 1990's version or the 1970's version starring
David Hartman. This version is by far the best. I hadn't seen
this version in years. I had seen the 1990's version a couple of
times, and our family watches the 1970's version every year, but
for some reason I don't really remember ever seeing this version.
Anyways, this film is awesome and you should watch it before
Christmas this year.

*****************************************************************************
Video Quality: This disc looks amazing. The video is presented in
Black & White and the clarity and detail is breathtaking. You
can see all kinds of detail in people's clothing and on other
objects. The blacks are very black and the whole thing just looks
great. The video is presented in Fullscreen, but the film was
shot that way.
*****************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************
Sound Quality: This disc sounds great. The sound is in Mono, but
that's the way that it was originally recorded. It is very clear
and sounds really nice.
*****************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************
Extras: This disc doesn't have many extras, but what it does have
is awesome. Presented on this disc is the Original Theatrical
Trailer which is awesome. You must see this awesome trailer.
There is also a TV Spot for a re-airing of Miracle On 34th Street
and a few Cast & Crew screens that show the Cast Members
faces and names and it tells you what characters they played.
There is also a French Language track and English & Spanish
Subtitles.

Overall Opinion: This is a great disc that everybody should rush
out and buy. It's an awesome disc of a true classic. I will
treasure this disc forever.
