Home Video Extra Features
The laserdisc of this movie has sat on my shelf since it’s release, but the new DVD edition sparkles with visual quality and shows off the gorgeous sets built for this period piece. Unfortunately, it is devoid of any other “extras,” except for a few trailers. (A commentary from Neil Simon would have turned this silver disc into gold.)
