- Authentic portrayal of post-war WWII Europe
Having never heard of "BIG LIFT" before a friend lent his DVD copy to me to watch, I was pleasantly surprised at how authentic the movie showed post WWII Europe, particularly the living conditions in Germany.

- Problems
I received the first copy and found a defect. At approximately one hour and a minute or so the picture disappeared and was replaced with a color pattern such as found when the station checks the color. After I fast forwarded it till the picture continued. At that point I rewound it till I was close the that place where it stopped and found that the defective area wss about a minute long. I asked for and received a second copy and found the same problem. Apparently the problem may be in an entire lot that was ... Read More
