Anybody try to watch the TCM broadcast of this movie?

When I did, about 80-90% of the dialogue was untranslated. They would give captions for sentence fragments instead of translating the entire sentence, it seemed like.

And about half of the subtitles were cut off screen. Shame...

Actually, I figured out that the bottom of the subtitles were appearing below the bottom of the screen. If you change the aspect ratio to a more letterbox format, the entire subtitle can barely be made out. At least that's the way it worked for me.

Is there another version (on DVD or whatever) that has a better subtitle track?

I DVR'd it off of TCM, but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Now I'm wondering if I should just skip it and go find it on DVD somewhere...

I recorded it too. I saw nothing wrong with mine.

Yeah, I've since gotten around to watching the recording I DVR'd off of TCM, and found nothing wrong with the subtitles. Everything seemed perfectly clear, to me.

Same here. I recorded it in HD and that's why. The frame extends beyond the edge of screen and you lose all the subtitles. I never got to watch it. So disappointed.

It happened once before on TCM with Rocco and His Brothers. I had to wait for the movie to come on TCM again and this time I recorded it on their non-HD channel. I finally was able to read the subtitles.
