Romantic complications of another kind turn up in Florence, Italy, when Indy and his mother meet the great opera composer Giacomo Puccini.

Realizing that there's no place like home, Indy rejoins his mom and dad and travels with his father to an isolated Greek monastery perched high on the peak of a mountain.

[Indy]

Schöne Box, stolzer Preis. Aber so wie ich das sehe ist jeweils reichlich Bonusmaterial zum historischen Hintergrund mit dabei, könnte also lohnenswert und lehrreich sein. Hat jemand 'ne Laufzeitangabe für die Episoden und für's Bonusmaterial?

[Dexter]

Vol. 2 soll am 18. Dezember in den USA erscheinen.

So Leute, gestern waren Sie in der Post, alle 3 Boxen geordert bei Amazon als UK-Import. Eines vorneweg: selten haben sich 140 € für DVDs derartig gelohnt. Sorry für die schlechte Bildqualität. Erstens photographiere ich selten meine DVDs und zweitens war das Licht im Wohnzimmer nicht so gut, besser wurde es erst, als ich mit der letzten Box auf den Balkon umgezogen bin.


Volume 1 - The Early Years




Volume 2 - The War Years




Volume 3 - The  Years Of Change




Was gibt es sonst zu dieser DVD Veröffentlichung zu sagen:

1) Sie ist einfach großartig.
3) Es wurden immer zwei thematisch zusammengehörende Folgen der Serie zu einer Folge mit Spielfilmlänge zusammengeschnitten.
3) Jede Folge hat ihren eigenen Silberling mit Tonnen von Extras.
4) Die Dokus - zumindest die, die ich ich bisher gesehen habe - sind exzellent und fangen das Zeitgefühl, in der die jeweilige Episode spielt, gut ein. Zudem sind sie ziemlich informativ und versorgen einen mit dem nötigen Hintergrundwissen.

Zwei kleine Wehrmutstropfen:
1) Der Ton: Leider nur Stereo.
2) Sämtliche Szenen mit George Hall als altem Indiana Jones sind der Schere zum Opfer gefallen. Das finde ich persönlich sehr schade, denn zum einen waren diese Szenen immer sehr gelungene Aufhänger zur eigentlichen Story und zum anderen hatten sie manchmal auf eine gut väterliche Art einen moralischen Zeigefinger. Ich persönlich kann nicht verstehen, warum man diese Szenen nicht belassen hat.

Trotz dieser zwei Punkte ist die vorliegende DVD-VÖ uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert, sowohl für Fans der Serie, Fans des Mythos Indiana Jones sowie auch für alle anderen. Ich werd sicher noch für Wochen Spaß daran haben.
