Today's Netflix Lesson.
Make sure you look carefully at the box art AND the user comments/reviews. I rented the 1967 Peter O'Toole movie Night Of The Generals from the 'Flix, but neglected to look at the cover art, assuming that Sony had finally gotten around to releasing it on DVD.
Wrong.
The DVD is from a grey market house called The Castaways, who've also released The African Queen onto DVD. It's, well, the best way to describe it would be out of focus. Not horribly, as I've got some other bootlegs that are far worse than it. But it's a bit strange that both Netflix and Amazon would be carrying something that's about half a step up from a bootleg, but then, who can tell these days. But I'd definitely say renter beware.
