Fantastic movie
I've been looking for a copy of this movie for many years. Unfortunately, I don't even own a VHS system any more, so I'll have to wait longer for a DVD. I saw the movie once on TV decades ago, it seems -- I see that the tape was released in 1994. I'm surprised that the reviews I've seen so far barely seemed to notice the character of Rosalind Franklin, played so brilliantly by Juliet Stevenson, one of my favorite actors. (See "Truly, Madly, Deeply.") The contrast between the bumptious, ambitious, unscrupulous Watson (perfectly cast in Goldblum) and the methodical, old-fashioned, repressed Franklin is, for me, the heart of the film. Franklin died before the Nobel Prize committee awarded its prize for the discovery of the double helix, and Nobel Prizes are never awarded posthumously. Otherwise she surely would have shared in the honor. Rating:

Piece of copied krap....video skips--very irrating--DO NOT Purchase!
I don't know why the @#$%ers at A&E will not release this good program in its own QUALITY DVD. What a terrible dis-service to humanity and educated people everywhere.

Please release on DVD
This movie is beautifully done and as gripping as any race could be. I beg that it be released on dvd. If it is being sold as an educational dvd, think how many more buyers could be spending money for it if it was sold on Amazon. Selling many units at a lower price seems to make good business sense.
The acting is perfection and the casting includes many talented actors. I am not a science teacher or a student, but I love this film. I beg that it be released on dvd. I will be the second in line to order my copy. Rating:

My VHS copy gets a grade of "F"
As a biology teacher, I bought a used copy of this marvelous film although I spent less than $50. However, the quality of the tape is so poor that students had a difficult time understanding the conversations. And, as a teacher, to spend a larger amount of my own money is out of the question. How unfortunate that the idea of use in the classroom made this unavailable for interested persons as well as teachers wishing to use it.

DVD version needed!
I have been searching high and low for a DVD version of this movie but now I know that the movie is only available in VHS. Who's watching VHS now? This is one great movie about the search of the DNA molecular structure and it should be updated to DVD.
I'll be the first one to buy a DVD version of the movie, if it ever converted into one!
