DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE, DOUBLE YOUR FUN.......2007-02-28

No, I am not pushing Wrigley's Doublemint Gum. Quite the contrary, there is absolutely nothing "gumming up the works" in these two stunning releases from MARENGO FILMS. I went through every release of CYRANO DE BERGERAC on the DVD market before trying the MARENGO version, and I can now say all competitors pale in comparison. Throw away all those other dupey, soft focus copies with hissing sound. MARENGO has made it possible to see CYRANO just as it was on a theater screen in 1950. The picture is razor sharp and the sound is loud and clear from start to finish. What a joy it was to watch such a beautiful transfer of this marvelous film!

And the exact same can be said for SON OF MONTE CRISTO. After going through nearly all of the other horrible transfers of this title, I am delighted to report that MARENGO has hit the nail squarely on the head. The picture and sound are both truly exquisite.

And folks, take a look at the low, low price. You get two fantastic films in fabulous transfers for less than you generally pay for just one DVD title. Three cheers for MARENGO FILMS!!!

GREAT VALUE.......2004-12-02

Like the other reviewers here have stated, the transfers are very good. I read a reviewer at "DVD Town" who wrote that this transfer is much better than a previous Marengo release of "Cyrano." Aside from the quality, the stories of both movies are very interesting. "Son of..." is a good movie I had never heard of before.

WORLDS GREATEST SWORDSMAN.......2003-09-12

First... these two prints are FANTASTIC... the sound is PERFECT.
If you like real heroes you will love Cyrano, if you like love stories you will love Cyrano, if you like swashbucklers you will love Cyrano... Can you tell I LOVE THIS MOVIE... The Son of Monte Cristo was enjoyable too... it's a kick to see Clayton Moore without his mask...! Excellent product from Marengo Films.

Cyrano at his best.......2003-07-25

Cyrano is a classic figure and this film brings out the essence of his grace. The imperfect hero, the long nose, the malancholy, the honor of it all is captured to perfection in this film. The print and sound are wonderful.

Marengo Films has done a very nice job of paring this with The Son of Monte Cristo. Obviously the "B" title of the double feature, this print is also excellent. Watch for Clayton Moore in his early acting days before he became, The Lone Ranger. The price paid for these two films is a bargain.

Superb Cyrano.......2001-11-21

Marengo Films has put together two fine films on one DVD. The quality of the prints is superb as is the sound. A fantastic bargan.
