Story Synopsis:
A wickedly funny comedy playing on the theme of mistaken and confused identity in a distinctly Monty Python style. At a wild party during the 60s, baby Thomas Henry Butterfly is accidentally misplaced by his rich hippie mum and dad. When the wrong baby is claimed, the real heir winds up being raised by a poor Pakistani family.
LaserDisc Picture:
This 1.88:1 transfer has the sharpness and color fidelity of the better discs. Fleshtones are accurate and natural looking and image detail is excellent.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is very well recorded, defined and dynamic with a subtle Dolby Surround® ambience. Dialogue intelligibility is exemplary!
