While the quality of the movie is about what one could expect from a film of that era without having had careful archival processes, the key problem for non-Chinese speaking audiences was that the movie is not subtitled. The main menu offers three choices - as far as I can tell - play movie, return, and scene selection. Nothing that one can select gives you the option of language or subtitle, let alone other settings. Having read a previous review that talked specifically about the subtitles, I had selected this for a film class but then had to switch it out. I suspect that Amazon may have gotten the wrong batch and did not know about it. The film is supposed to be one of the more interesting ones from the era (some of which was actually filmed prior to the revolution and subject to GMD censorship). But non-Chinese speakers should beware that they will not be able to understand the film.
