Has anyone seen either of these dvds? I would like to get them but am afraid of what I might get.

I've seen Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. If you've never seen the movie, it is a very good one, if not a great one. Sidney Potier is great along with Kathleen Hepburn and Tracy Spencer, or Spencer Tracy, can't remember. But, the picture quality was decent, sound was either mono or stereo, but over all a good movie. Touches on some not so relevant subjects, but also hits some very relevant ones. Guess this is kind of turning into a non-review, but I recommend it. Classic, and a movie that makes you think.

Thanks for the Reply!

I've seen GWCTD many times because I like it. But I was looking for a review of the DVD quality.

The DVD of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the best transfer of the movie I have seen. I've had the LD for sometime, and the DVD is significantly better.

It is also a better movie than Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

Still haven't replaced my video of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," but I do have "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." It looks wonderful and the mono soundtrack is very good.
