I can confirm that yes, there is a glitch at the mark you mention. Hard to tell if it's from the source or a manufacturing error, but yes, the error is on my disc too.whtm0197 wrote:Has anyone noticed a glitch around 1 hour and 53 minutes. Jack Lemon is on the phone and the picture seems to jump. It doesn't look like a DVD problem, but more of an edit.
I also have to say, I can not believe anyone would dignify GringoTex's trollistic remarks with a response as unfathomable. Gregory and Binker, you are both far too kind.
The thought of someone being emotionally unaffected by Jack Lemmon's performance in this film can only lead me to believe they are a cold and heartless human being. I have never once thought of this film as purporting to be about the coup in Chile, or even to be about the Chileans in particular, but about the true story of an American, caught up and killed in a misadventure of American imperialism. ("misadventure" is an understatement, obviously.) A "sidebar" story? Is your own child's existence just a sidebar in this life? Jesus Christ!GringoTex wrote:...poorly acted, etc. ad nauseum
My first post on criterionforum (which doesn't exist anymore because of one of those server crashes) was about trying to find the early films of Costa-Gavras on disc or tape. Having written to Criterion over the years about him, I was ecstatic when Missing was announced as a forth coming release. And they definitely delivered the goods, it's a terrific package. I can only hope this is the beginning of more good (Costa-Gavras) things to come. But I have to stop gushing, because I don't want to DNFTT...
ps. can't wait to get my 'Che hard-on' tomorrow!
