Be aware the dvd is 4:3 cropped from its original 70mm splendour. If that doesn't bother you then have at it. Wonderful John Barry score and two brilliant performances more than make the film worth your time.
A very curious film, watchable yet not very engaging. The quote from George MacDonald Fraser in the wiki on the film says it best: “ The plot left me bewildered - in fact the whole bloody business is probably an excellent microcosm of the Thirty Years' War, with no clear picture of what is happening and half the cast ending up dead to no purpose. To that extent, it must be rated a successful film. ... As a drama, The Last Valley is not remarkable; as a reminder of what happened in Central Europe, 1618-48, and shaped the future of Germany, it reads an interesting lesson”
As for the DVD itself, it not one of the major studio issues listed in the wiki and is made by some very strange lesser company. The real disapppointment, as mentioned by the previous reviewer, is that this 70mm widescreen major production is a 4:3 pan and scan. Cinema Paradiso should replace it with a proper version — it’s the least that Michael Caine and Omar Sharif deserve.
