One of the main characters in this wonderful, quirky film is music. Full, amazing glorious sound weaves in and out of both plot and subplot. Well, it does in the movie, anyway. The truely awful mono sound on this DVD is like blacking out the image of one of the stars.It's still a good story but if you've seen/heard this movie in a decent theater the terrible sound on this DVD will have you screaming in frustraition. Where's a Criterion Edition when we need it?
