Steven Spielberg's adaptation of The Color Purple comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.0, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include production notes and a pair of theatrical trailers. While the sound and picture quality are very strong, one could hope for more information about the production. Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey made their film debuts in this effort and their insight would be interesting.

Jessie Nelson's heartwarming period piece Corrina, Corrina comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer, as well as filmographies of the cast and crew. This is a fine, but unspectacular release from New Line.
