Tonight We Sing

Fox Gives DVDs a BAD Name
Being a once well-respected and major Hollywood Studio, 20th Century-Fox of today should be utterly ashamed of the way they are treating consumers with their shoddy, lack-lustre and tawdry transfers of many of their Technicolor 'Fox Classics' releases, (and some black and white features as well). Gone are the days of quality product presentations when true first class showmanship dictated in all their movie releases. Darryl would turn in his grave today!

This recent release (November 27, 2012), of 'Tonight We Sing' looks as though it was transferred from a 1980s bootlegged VHS.

Quality of Fox Archive transfers
Tonight We Sing (2012) release from Fox Archives.
The quality of this dvd gives a whole new meaning to the words terrible, ghastly, and rotten. It is so dark in places that a violin section melts into the background as a blur. The color is so bad at times that it is almost unwatchable. I managed to look at half of it before my patience gave out.

Warner, Sony/Columbia, and Universal are the items to purchase. I will not be purchasing any further dvds from the Fox Archives until you lift your game. DaViD.

Tonight We Sing..A feast of musical entertainment.
Forget the routine hollywood biop and sit back and enjoy Pinza,Peters and the voice of Jan Pearce.Surprisingly no mention is made of Hurok's major find the late Marian Anderson,but what is there is a feast of songs,ballet , violin and opera
