1. Torrent Monkeys Go Home 1967 Pontiac Gto

Henry Dussard, a young American, inherits a picturesque but badly neglected olive farm in southern France and is determined to make it operational again despite cautionary advice from the local priest and a pretty villager. Desperate for laborers, the inventive Dussard turns to the zaniest crew of olive pickers ever recruited - four mischievous monkeys!

As former members of an Air Force space team, these intelligent chimps quickly pick up on their new responsibilities - but prove to have a turbulent effect on the local townspeople. I loved watching this as a kid. It was in two parts on Sunday nights on 'The Wonderful World Of Disney' or whatever name the show was using at the time.

And our country (New Zealand) only had B&W. As a young lad, I was particularly impressed by Yvette Mimieux. Drop dead gorgeous. Seeing it again a few years later, it didn't feel the same but the movie is still good light entertainment. I guess all shows seem a lot better when you're young. Nevertheless, its better than some other stuff out there that I've revisited, hence the 7 rating.

If I see it out on DVD on a cheap label I plan to buy it.

Receives a no-frills catalogue release from Disney DVD, and I feared that would mean the hideous video quality that the similarly-treated Blackbeard's Ghost received. But, Monkeys actually looks pretty nice considering its age. This is a very colorful film, from Hank's blue car and Maria's red skirt to the busy town streets and the festival segments.

The colors are all vivid and detail is good throughout. There is a minor but consistent problem with digital artifacts and video noise that does not amount to a major distraction, but does keep the video quality from achieving the perfection that the recent Vault Disney DVDs obtained.Obviously, the film does not look like new films today do, close-up shots possess the grainy shortcomings of the camera technology of the time and the visuals certainly display the recognizable color tone and palette of dated '60s and '70s movies, which is accurate representation of the movie's filming process. Still, considering the age of the material, the visuals are rather pleasing, particularly for a catalogue release.Alas, this is not where we end, because we come to the aspect ratio problem, which seems to be daunting so many of Disney's catalogue DVDs. As with other older live-action titles, original aspect ratio information is not readily available for Monkeys, Go Home!, so I'm relying on determining how the film looks framed here.

Since it was released in the 1960s, when widescreen was already the norm, I think it's safe to say that this is not the movie's original theatrical aspect ratio. While the film does not suffer from the major framing problems seen on Blackbeard's Ghost, some shots do seem to be poorly-framed, particularly in wide shots when a fourth monkey's face isn't entirely in the frame or the shot of the town festival sign which loses one or two letters on each end. My guess is that Monkeys' original aspect ratio is something like the 1.75:1 widescreen ratio that was used for Old Yeller and Pollyanna. As such, you're not missing an abundance of visual information, and it is certainly not as noticeable and problematic as on Blackbeard, but as such this otherwise pleasant video transfer suffers from the fact that Disney couldn't release the film, displayed in the ratio that it was framed for and intended to be seen in.In terms of quality, the sound is equally positive with this adequate 2.0 English track. All dialogue is clear (well, considering the French accents) and the film's upbeat soundtrack is properly conveyed. While obviously this isn't like the soundtracks of the films of today, I could not find fault in the audio. In fact I was pleasantly surprised that clarity and consistency were as good as they were, considering the film's age and the DVD's seemingly lack of effort.

Overall, the audio is faithful to the original soundtrack of the film, and that is up to par.BONUS FEATURESNothing. Not even a trailer, as Monkeys suffers the barebones (and I do mean barebones) catalogue title DVD treatment that Disney is laying on its abundance of unreleased movies. After five years of dilly-dallying catalogue releases in the DVD format, Disney now finds itself churning out its missing live-action movies in a ruthless fashion to spare all expense, resulting in disappointing feature-less discs.CLOSING THOUGHTSAs a film, Monkeys, Go Home! Is one of Disney's more pleasing live-action efforts of the '60s and it holds up well as family-friendly entertainment today. The DVD is a mixed bag.

It is featureless, but low-priced (carrying a SRP of only $14.99). Video quality is good, but it does not appear to be in its original aspect ratio.

Manual for sanyo vwm 400 vcr player. If you don't plan on buying this one on principle, I can understand that. Just do not expect a re-release anytime soon.

For those for whom this comedy holds fond memories, it might be worth the $9.99 this can be had for in stores. The lack of original aspect ratio is troubling and not minor enough to overlook, but logistically speaking, one can watch this DVD without being too bothered by framing problems, and this is truly the best this film has ever looked. So if you feel you must own this movie, this is the choice home video release, although it is definitely disappointing that Disney couldn't give this title better DVD treatment./Related Reviews:(1968).
