I had some considerable difficulty in watching it. It's hard to say how much is the fault of the DVD, and how much the fault of what I was watching it on: an early (pre-iMac) Power Mac G3/300 with DVD-ROM + Apple DVD Player Software. Initially, it wouldn't even let me select the option to "Play Feature" and left me stuck in the menus. I upgraded the Apple DVD Player software from 1.0 to 1.1, and I was able to play it almost normally: but at several spots in the playback, it froze and skip to something later. I missed several scenes this way, some of which I found by going thru the scene selection menus and some which I can only infer the existence of from the elapsed time. It would be ironic if I have to get the VHS tapes just to see the whole story... --- Albert Lunde Albert-Lunde@nwu.edu
