    THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST : Has the original music been restored for DVD?

    Oscar, You're welcome. The film is both ahead-of-it's-time and dated, in some of its aspects. If you like DR. STRANGELOVE, you'll probably like THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST (I enjoy STRANGELOVE a great deal, but actually find ANALYST wilder & funnier). It skewers many different targets (some...

    THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST : Has the original music been restored for DVD?

    It's generally considered one of the funniest/wittiest/craziest films of the 1960s (although not well known by the general public), and one of the best satires ever filmed. Most film guides give it a 4-star review (or the equivalent). I agree with the assessment that it is a brilliant film; it...

    THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST : Has the original music been restored for DVD?

    Thanks for the link, Gordon. That out-of-synch sound problem is worrisome, unless that's a flaw limited to advance screener copies (or a problem unique to his DVD player). If not, it looks like a product recall/exchange will be in order. Unfortunately, that DVD reviewer gives no indication as...

    THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST : Has the original music been restored for DVD?

    The R1 DVD of THE PRESIDENT'S ANALYST won't street until June 8. From the specs, it looks like it will get "bare-bones" treatment (no trailer), but will be in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. Paramount's Martin Blythe indicated on these boards last year that the attempt was going to be made to...
