Please producers!!!!

The movie is good but the reproduction of the DVD that I received was of a very poor quality! Obviously nobody wanted to spend money on making a good copy... what a pity!!!!
No wonder it only cost about two dollars to buy!!!!

Underground Adventure Will Rock You
rating: 5
Go underground, way underground in this outstanding adventure romance film from director Peter Hunt. Roger Moore gives one of his best performances in a well defined character. Moore makes this film work. Elmer Bernstein's score is dynamic and well suited to the characters and action that unfolds. GOLD rocks!

Roger Moore and Peter Hunt Deliver an Outstanding Film
rating: 5
After Peter Hunt directed ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE he left the Bond series. This was Hunt's best directorial effort since then. Roger Moore gives a standout performance as an engineer working for a gold mine in South Africa. The beautiful Susannah York provides the love interest. The sort of likeable Bradford Dillman is the villain of the piece. At a time when composer Elmer Berstein seemed to be struggling between genres he came up with one of his most innovative and beautiful scores including a rousing vocal main title. This is a good film supported by an intelligent script with a well thought out plot. Well acted.

Moore is very Good DVD is very Poor
rating: 3
GOLD is an oustanding film directed by Peter Hunt. It is rich with characters, plot and raw energy and emotion. This film contains one of Roger Moore's best performances. Elmer Bernstein's score is one of his best. The entire cast is first rate. On the down side this DVD print is very poor and that is being kind. This is an outstanding film just the same.

Film is 5 stars, DVD is bah! "Gold" is a great flick
rating: 3
This mid-70's film is genuinely enjoyable and dramatic. The music is great (with a high-energy title song and 70's disaster flick chick Maureen McGovern doing a great love theme in the middle of the film). Roger Moore gives perhaps one of his two or three great non-Bond performances. But don't buy it until it's done right in widescreen with a solid remastering job. It's a real shame that wasn't done first time out. This is a genuinely good film with a small cult following.
