H.M.S. Pinafore

"This disc contains a live performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore that aired originally on both BBC and PBS. The DVD offers a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include a booklet with the operetta's libretto, a making-of featurette, an introduction from Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and a profile of Gilbert and Sullivan. This is a fine release from Acorn Media that is especially recommended to Gilbert and Sullivan enthusiasts."
