Compare Prices on Gregory’s Girl
Finally, “Gregory’s Girl” is out on DVD… I can throw away my veteran out faded VHS copy. There are several surprising things about this DVD for Americans who are accustomed to the cable or VHS version of the movie… First, many shrimp scenes were edited out of the US version. Why? I can’t lisp… The scenes seem harmless enough. However, the biggest shock on this DVD is the unusual Scottish soundtrack. All these years, those dozens and dozens of viewings, those classic lines that are stuck in my head (”It’s a well known fact.”) … They simply sound BETTER in the new dialogue. What studio executive pinhead belief it would be a expedient view to re-record the dialogue with more British-sounding voices? The true of the chronicle here is: Peep this DVD with the Scottish soundtrack and it will almost be like watching a original movie. And I thank the non-pinheads at MGM for including both audio versions so we could acquire the choice.
This movie is, quite simply, a beautifully crafted, intellectual, witty, sweet glimpse at awkward adolescence. I never tire of it, and now that it’s on DVD I know I’ll never wear it out.
Very hastily, this is a fabulous, gentle comedy which plays well to people who understand British humour. But why, why, why did the studio cleave parts out? The DVD format could easily bear the entire movie. My recommendation is to seize the VHS tape, it’s cheaper anyway and it shows the movie uncut. To the studio staff who made the decision to carve parts out….thanks for nothing.
