Song Without End Reviews: Song Without End DVD  2009-12-15 - This DVD was purchased to replace an older VHS tape. The DVD of this movie was apparently produced in China. Upon viewing, the picture quality was very poor--much more faded colors than in the older VHS tape. The subtitles appear to have been translated from English to Chinese, and then back to English, as the language was stilted and rather strange at times. We returned the DVD on Oct 30, 2009, and asked Import CD to credit our Amazon account for the amount of the DVD. After waiting a month and hearing nothing back from the company, I sent them an email on Dec. 1, 2009, asking if they had received the DVD and were going to credit our Amazon account. Now, 15 days later, I have still gotten no response from my email request.
I would rate their customer relations as being very poor, and would caution people from doing business with this company.
A happy ending after a bad start!  2009-09-27 - When I received this video of a movie I've always loved but haven't seen in years, I played it on my sister's HD set and the picture was blurred and awful. I was so disappointed but put it aside to try it on my less "up to the minute" DVD player and TV. I'm so glad I gave it s second chance because it was just lovely and as wonderful as I'd hoped it would be. I'm thrilled to have this movie that I first saw as a teen and always adored! The soundtrack is gorgeous.
Song Without End  2009-08-27 - I waited several years for a DVD version of Song Without End. In Aug.09 I find it, but thank heavens I read the reviews. I shall keep my VCR copy forever but I will never buy the DVD.
What a Disappointment!!  2008-12-16 - I cannot believe what poor quality this DVD has! It's blurry, the sound is bad, scenes have been cut. This is a total waste of money! Thank God I saved my VHS copy. I love this movie and I can't imagine why they desecrated it like this. Hang onto your VHS copies or try to find them, they are 100 times better!
Glad others agree!  2008-11-19 - I thought I already left a review on this movie before.
I originally had it on Video but I wanted DVD and Subtitles so I bought the DVD Version.
Let me say how much I appreciate foregoing comments here about the quality or lack of on this film.
Added to the dreadful Subtitling which as another poster said is way off course with what is actually being said in a number of places. Makes you wonder what nut did the subtitling.
Also in some places the sound is terrible and if you notice a couple of times where Liszt plays the applause begins and for 10 seconds it is fairly acceptable then it drops down like the piano and the audience are in totally different rooms.
I liked the actors and I am sure Lizst was a humungous philanderer.
Can't understand the hypocrisy of both Lizst and the princess.
At the end they are just so Catholic and devout...but through out she in particular is scheming on how she can be married to Lizst and he is lapping it all up.
Good movie but so many short comings I was disappointed.
In closing I was most surprised that a whole lot of errors apart from Subtitling not on the Video..still came across from the Video without any kind of checking..to the DVD version!
I loved the music though.
