Pretty Baby

"Louis Malle's controversial drama Pretty Baby, featuring a very young Brooke Shields, comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the film. Regardless of how one feels about the film's content, Pretty Baby is most assuredly a resounding visual success. The exquisite art direction, costumes, and lighting look fabulous on this disc. Certainly the film has never looked this good before on home video. English and French soundtracks have been rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English subtitles are accessible. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, but seeing as how Malle is one of the most respected French directors of his era, this disc is worthwhile for any art film devotee."
