Road To Bali DVD

Advantages: Haunting melodies, stunning scenery
Disadvantages: Poor dubbing,

...of this at the time, although I can understand this point of view now. Other criticisms are of poor dubbing and poor direction by Joshua Logan. I've never personally noticed this, but I suppose I will look for it now the next time it is on t.v. and I just hope it doesn't spoil my enjoyment. All this aside, Rogers and Hammerstein's music steals the show with songs such as Some Enchanted Evening, Cockeyed Optimist, Bali Hi. and listen out for You've got to be carefully taught ...a well thought out objection to racial prejudice written at a time when such things were considered taboo. The colour filtering effect, especially during the singing of Bali Hi is glorious, if perhaps a bit too glorious, but manages to give the film an even more romantic air. I've watched it now about 30 times so I should know. The film is available on video and I believe DVD... Read review

Disadvantages: None, nout!

Dori is excellently voiced by Comedian Ellen... Read review

...If you know nothing about Irish Road Racing and are of a nervous disposition, this is NOT for you, otherwise, buy it. I grew up with my head stuck through a hedge watching bikes race past, missing my head by a few inches and absolutely loved it. Watching this DVD is as close as you can get to that feeling. You will NOT believe the speed, bravery and lunacy on these unbelievably narrow country roads. It shows highlights from several of the events in the year's championships. Maybe it's even more poignant given that one of the main protaganists was killed in a road race last weekend (18th Sept. 2005). Richard Britton (No. 8) was absolutely unbelievable and this DVD is a fitting tribute to someone I consider a hero.... Read review
