La Strada's English Soundtrack
In response to Stephen Lopez:I,too,contactedCriterion regarding the English track.I receivedthe same reply.However,I can't accept theiranswer because some years back,Criterion releasedLa Strada on laserdisc (a now-defunct video mediumused mainly by videophiles before the advent of DVDs)which I've owned since its release.The English soundtrack on this LD is flawless...nota single "dropoff" from start to finish.So...my hunch is that somebody at Criterion fouledup somehow and the result is several minutes ofmissing audio.I'm still happy,however,that I purchased the DVDbecause the video quality is outstanding!
