Warning: Spoilers
As with the d.v.d version of whoopee, this version on d.v.d was slightly alternated.The scene where it shows the news paper telling how Eddie has an Ice scream factory,was originally shot in color,with the blue back ground. What happen is that either Goldwyn or time Warner decide just because the news paper was black and white,might as well print that scene in black n white.They still alternated Sam Goldwyn original creation.This was wrong of them.It was legally wrong not to inform the public that this scene was changed. Since their target is pro Hollywood corporatism, those classic film fans weren't going to make a fuss.Our target does.The Hollywood corp catters ignore us,since they barley serve us any how.The only positive thing about this version it's sharper.The color final,early three strip Technicolor,is not retouched in anyway except for the news paper sequence. Sam Goldwyn had made this scene that way.Well any how that was the only problem.It still a fine musical classic.The final you see Ethel Merman in her ,at the time ,only appearance in Technicolor.It still a good movie to collect,but, I still got my original VHS version too.05/17/13
