4 stars How do you screw something up like this?

Great Rick Wakeman music from start to finish, I've loved the soundtrack since the early 90s and the videotape for over 20 years now. But somebody at Rick's end screwed this DVD over. It's in black & white (no color tints), the Christopher Lee intro is a "special feature" accessible via the loud noisy menu (rather than at the beginning of the film where it belongs). While the print is clearer without the damage seen on the earlier video version, the last reel is so dark it's imposssible to see the action climax. What--the-- ??? I've contacted several video companies suggesting they could do better, since the guy running Rick's website informed me there's "no plans" for them to do more with this project. My favorite version of my favorite silent, and the videotape is better than the DVD? That's just not right.
