Melody [DVD] [1971]

I really enjoyed this sadly forgotten film from the 1970s. It was fun to see Mark Lester and Jack Wild three years after making "Oliver Twist."

DVD came early! Wasn't supposed to come until after Christmas but it came today! Packaged well. Works well. Excellent communication with seller. Pleasure doing business with. Highly recommend seller. Thank you!

I put it in Blue Ray player and it worked flawlessly

I've seen lots of reviews whining about the quality of the video. I didn't even notice it. But then again, I wasn't expecting HD quality from a 40 year old movie. I'm funny that way.The movie is fabulous. I loved it as a child, a teenager, an adult, and now as someone who would be your favorite great aunt. It's a beautiful story about innocent love. It's about kids being kids. It's a great one to share with your best friend, and with your kids. Don't let a few nitpicky technical complaints put you off.

Melody is a film about two 10 year school children who fall in love, then face constant adult opposition, as well as nonstop harassment from the other children. The two main characters, Daniel Lattimer (Mark Lester) and Melody Perkins (Tracy Hyde) are seeking someone to love and to provide companionship. Daniel is largely ignored by his trendy, upper middle class parents, while Melody longs for something other than her existence in a poor, lower end housing project. The story is a tender, sweet story of innocent love between two children, backed by a great music track by the pre-disco BeeGees. It contains no objectionable language, no sexual content, and no violence. Melody is a thoroughly entertaining film, one which will grab your attention from the opening, and hold it throughout the movie. This reviewer would give it 10 stars and a thumbs-up.

Won’t play in America.Seller won’t buy back, claims it was advertised as such. IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT.Now I’m out over $17 and have a brand new dvd that won’t play. Total BS.

I had a DVD of this film from years back. This newer version is a much, much better print. The bonus materials aside, the quality of the film transfer is worth the price of admission. The aspect ratio has changed quite a bit -- this version is letterboxed while the original was more squared -- but it's a great print. So much more detail.

I remember watching this movie on the Sunday afternoon movies on television when I was a kid. There was something about the feeling of this movie that absolutely always appealed to me. I have looked for it for years, but could not find it in mass release. I have read other reviews here about the poor quality of this particular release, but I found it not to be too bad, really. There were a couple of little 'glitches' (like a digital skip, of sorts), but it mostly just seemed like an old movie, with some hissing and some cracks & pops. Nothing that really bothered me tremendously. I have to say it took a good week before it even shipped out, which was disappointing from Amazon which is usually very fast. But the movie quality was acceptable, and an overdue walk down memory lane!

Se tardó más de un mes en llegar pero llegó justo a tiempo para que fuera la última cosa que le regalé a mi papá. Es región B y no lo pudimos ver, pero le brillaron los ojos de felicidad cuando lo vio y eso nunca lo voy a olvidar. La mejor compra de mi vida

Love this film and Jack wild and Mark Lester well worth buying and watching on DVD one of my favourite films

I firs saw MELODY when I was about the same age as the kids portrayed in the film. Watching it again took me right back to that time back in 1972! Talk about rejuvenating!!!
