Annie Oakley Volume 1

Summary: Another poorly executed Annie Oakley DVD
Review: After having purchased the VCI Set of Annie Oakley episodes, and being very disappointed in the transfer quality (due to problems with the brightness level), I decided to give the Marengo Films DVD a try. This is in spite of the fact that it only included 4 episodes, compared to VCI's TWELVE! Given that it had the Davis family stamp of approval, I figured it to be a safe bet.

How disappointed to receive the DVD and find first off, that the opening sequence had been deleted off of each episode!!!!!!!

While the brightness level is better than the VCI set, the picture is still riddled with grain.

For the price, and given the number of episodes, this is a huge rip-off.

This is a classic children's western, and I am really disappointed that I can't get a quality set of episodes, as is available with many other shows. Frankly, until I read of another studio doing something along those lines, and that the transfers are good, I will quit attempting to add this classic to my DVD collection.
