I just finally got around to picking up the entire Woody Allen Collection from MGM and am extremely disappointed with some of the transfers. "The Purple Rose of Cairo", "Radio Days" and especially "Another Woman" look atrocious to me. They look like old laserdisc transfers, soft and smeary. Reading the reviews online, I am bewildered when they state that these titles have good picture quality. Especially when they seem to think that these three titles quality is on par with the better looking titles like "Crimes and Misdemeanors" and "Hannah and Her Sisters". To me, these two and most of the other titles in the sets are sharp and clear and look acceptable. Did I somehow get defective discs of some of the titles?
