I didn't watch the film the minute I got it, in fact I waited for maybe a month or so. After getting through the first quarter of the film it sounded as though my dvd player was dying, took out the disc but tried again and again to no avail. Tried another dvd and it worked fine. I have watched many films since with no problems.This was an expensive dvd, more than I usually pay but I ordered it for a special occasion, an outdoor movie night on a family large vacation. I am sooooo disappointed.
