Apparently NOT to be. I wanted the 1942 version and all I got (five times) was the 1983 version. They really need to listen to and act upon their customer feedback. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This is not a historical film and if lack of authenticity bothers you, the accents are all over the place. But as an entertaining movie, this is a great film!

I actually wanted the original movie, as indicated in the image! I figured with the two previous reviews, I would indeed get what I wanted. Instead, they send me the Mel Brooks movie! I CAN'T WIN. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
