Customer Reviews of Meet John Doe [Region 2]

Great Movie, Poor Quality DVD
Apparently, the DVD was made from an old print of the movie that was grainy with washed out blacks. Indeed, I don't believe that there is a single scene in the movie that has a true black even though the movie is in black & white. Regardless of the poor quality of the DVD, the film's fine direction and acting performances make the movie truly enjoyable, especially if you are a Capra fan. Thus I rate this dvd at only three stars overall because of one star dvd quality combined with a five star movie.

Best of Capra
This story is many times better that "It's a Wonderful Life" The social and politcal ideas it presents are still very relevent today. Perhaps even more so. The print of the black and white feature is not perfect, probably because the movie lanquished in obscurity for so long. Of course you can't beat Cooper and Stanwyk together.

Quality of DVD is grainy, am disappointed.
I've just played "Meet John Doe" DVD, put out by Passport Video, and must admit to being extremely disappointed in the very poor picture quality all the way through. I might try the VHS version and hope for an improvement over this one. <

>I'm puzzled about the error of movie title and the actors. "The Divorce of Lady X" (1938) has Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier in it. "Meet John Doe" has Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. So why the mixup in titles as listed above by Amazon? Surely someone ought to have noticed long ago!
