5 out of 5 stars Best of Capra.......2007-03-28

This story is many times better that "It's a Wonderful Life" The social and politcal ideas it presents are still very relevent today. Perhaps even more so. The print of the black and white feature is not perfect, probably because the movie lanquished in obscurity for so long. Of course you can't beat Cooper and Stanwyk together.

4 out of 5 stars Quality of DVD is grainy, am disappointed........2007-02-02

I've just played "Meet John Doe" DVD, put out by Passport Video, and must admit to being extremely disappointed in the very poor picture quality all the way through. I might try the VHS version and hope for an improvement over this one.

I'm puzzled about the error of movie title and the actors. "The Divorce of Lady X" (1938) has Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier in it. "Meet John Doe" has Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. So why the mixup in titles as listed above by Amazon? Surely someone ought to have noticed long ago!

1 out of 5 stars Very Poor Quality DVD.......2006-10-11

Love the movie, but the quality of the DVD put out by Alpha Video was so bad it was very difficult to watch. The sound was scratchy and muffled and the picture looked as if the brightness was turned all the way up. If you don't want to be disappointed and feel like you've been ripped off, wait for the remastered cut before you buy this one.

1 out of 5 stars Wonderful film but poor DVD quality.......2006-05-31

I bought the DVD with this artwork out of a dollar bin and I got what I paid for. The image is fuzzy and the audio is of poor quality. This must have been taken from a 16mm print. It may be that this film is in public domain, so it may be difficult to find a decent quality DVD. There are many issues of this film so you would do better to try one of the other DVD issues. Note: Amazon seems to spread these reviews across DVDs of the same title, so you may see this review under multiple DVD releases of "Meet John Doe". The poor quality DVD that I bought has a cover that looked like this: [...]

4 out of 5 stars An Important American Film..........2005-11-24

...but buyers should be forwarned that the print from which this DVD is made was a poor one, and Alpha Video, the distributors of this classic Capra movie, made no attempt to clean it up.

Here we have an example of a key artwork about America's psychological and political framework during emergence from the economic depression of the 1930s, crying out for careful restration to the condition it so deserves.
