However, it is the best ORIGINAL quality pre-recorded VHS available on the market today! **PLEASE NOTE** Now that you are fully aware that this video has these flaws (but is watchable) it will be sold AS IS! F.Y.I. please read A word about playing VHS video tapes, made in the 1970-1990 period, on a VCR with automatic tracking. At the time these tapes were made, tracking could be done manually. Therefore, on a automatic tracking VCR, during playback, you may have rollover and static lines. We offer no guarantee that you will or will not have tracking problems with this videotape. Attention: On older vhs videos (pre-1990) very few were re-mastered for sound quality. Sometimes the ground loop signal was recorded in the source material during dubbing or mastering. Thus possibly creating some pops and hissing. **PLEASE NOTE** Now that you are fully aware that this video may have these flaws (but is watchable) it will be sold AS IS! Questions? You may contact us through: eBay's message system (contact member) It is not digitally remastered, and how it looks will depend on your VCR and TV. Remember, this is a video tape with 250 lines of resolution compared to today's DVDs, which are digital and 480 lines, and Blu-rays which are 1080 lines, so no matter what TV you play it on, it isn't going to look as crisp as a DVD or Blu-ray.THIS MOVIE HAS NEVER BEEN OFFICIALLY RELEASED ON DVD IN THE USA!

The life, success and troubles of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as told by Antonio Salieri, the contemporaneous composer who was deeply jealous of Mozart's talent and claimed to have murdered him. In addition, check out my other RARE out-of-print CULT CLASSIC videos currently up for bid. Many are out-of-print and not available on DVD. Win a bunch and have a RARE MOVIE marathon!TRIVIA: The film ironically helped spark a revival of Salieri's music, which had previously languished in obscurity. ***BEWARE*** There are bootlegging pirates selling illegally duped copies of this video for "AMADEUS". This is the one and only true ORIGINAL release on THORN EMI VIDEO which has been out-of-print for over 25 years! If anyone else has a different box displayed, then it's a copied video or illegal imported video! Also, beware of sellers (crooks) using a picture of a MOVIE POSTER to advertise as a box for the VIDEO! (How chintzy can they get?) Finally, there are sellers (bootleggers) who use terms like, "No cover box included" -or- "Our distributor does not provide a cover or box art" -and- THE NOW CLASSIC LINE, "Tape comes in a plain white box. Please ask questions before bidding." Translation of this quote SCREAMS out "BOOTLEG"! (You know who you are!), when in all actuality it's one CON ARTIST with one hand on the VCR record button and the other halfway in your wallet. Any SHMUCK can dupe a video and hide behind the Berne Act -and- say, "Movie is believed to be in the public domain in the U.S. and free of any copyright laws." This movie is in FACT owned and copyrighted by Saul Zaentz Company. I have seen other sellers (THIEVES) dealing illegal bootleg copies of this movie on eBay in the past. These sellers are churning out these make-shift vids week after week to suck you into buying them. Now they are resorting to offering ILLEGALLY duped DVDs. You BOOTLEG PIRATES know who you are. This is one of the ONLY 'LEGAL' ones available on eBay (with an original box) as of the time of this listing. So, if you're looking for the true original with original box art, then this is it! It is not difficult to figure out who these bootleggers are. They have the same exact titles week after week! BUT also BEWARE of sellers using inkjet copied covers of the box too, which may have some up now on eBay! You will be able to tell the difference. FOR SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY! Since this is long gone and out-of-print, grab it while you can! LOTS MORE RARE THORN EMI VIDEOS!!!PLUS EXTRA ADDED BONUS!!!
