DVD purchase WARNING!
2 March 2013
If you are looking to purchase a DVD copy of 'Rome Adventure (1962)', BE WARNED that there is an extremely inferior version made available through the internet (eBay). This terrible version of this movie can be identified by Chinese characters on the cover and "produced" by "The Castaways Pictures" company. The artwork used to illustrate this movie title on this very IMDb site is, in fact, the very DVD to be avoided! The quality of the picture on this DVD is extremely substandard. It appears that someone merely video recorded a big screen TV with the movie 'Rome Adventure' playing on it. The picture is poor and the colors are washed out (the quality of the images on the cover art is how the imagery on the DVD appears). I suspect that this is an unauthorized Chinese rip-off. BEWARE! Make sure to look for the authentic Warner Bros. release of 'Rome Adventure' (recently with the faded yellow artwork on the cover; find an example on Amazon.com) where the picture quality is as one would expect: Colorful, clear and professional. Ask the seller of the DVD which copy he is offering before you buy. Note: My 1-star rating in this entry is reflective of the poor DVD described above. It is not a rating of the film/movie 'Rome Adventure (1962)' itself (which I would rate highly).
