Title Best
Fiddler on the Roof=
    The Region 4 DVD misses out on:
  • music playing over the menu
    The laserdisc boxed set contained still photos and a documentary about this film. Perhaps to reserve space for video compression, MGM have left the documentary off all DVD releases. Some Region 1 reviewers referred to the 'pristine' video transfer. This clashes with my experience of the PAL DVD, which looks great when viewed uncritically, but upon closer inspection shows that the speckling is incessant.

    If the Region 1 DVD contains a cleaner transfer it would be the DVD to go for, since the music would also running at the proper 24 fps timing rather than 25 fps (a semi-tone difference, Michael tells me). Without confirmation, though, the Region 4 DVD is certainly enjoyable as it is.
