Query: this dvd is absolutely awful.

I can't play vhs movies and love this version of show boat. i have the newer version with howard keel and katherine grayson and the most beautiful ava gardener, but this one is a true gem. please, somebody, get a grip and issue this in DVD!!!!I wrote that (above) before i bought the Brazilian DVD, which is truly horrid. the quality is virtually unwatchable and the DVD has several bad sectors on it that don't play at all. i bought a second copy and the same problem exists, so obviously they copied this from the vhs edition and made a very bad copy. if you absolutely must have it, then get it, but i do wish the studios would release a clean decent copy of this version because it is beautiful.
