Gordon Douglas's Young At Heart never made it to laserdisc, so this DVD edition is a double treat, jumping several steps past the old Republic Pictures videocassette edition in one rather bold bound. The movie, a musicalized remake of Michael Curtiz's 1938 classic Four Daughters, was a joint production of Warner Bros. and producer Henry Blanke, one of the top production supervisors on the Warner lot during the 1940's and a protege of Hal Wallis -- it was owned by Blanke's company, and was sold to Republic in the 1980's, which is how that studio came to have to have it on home video; Artisan, in turn, has bought the Republic library in more recent years. The disc is a good job and then some, transferred off of a source that's just a few short inches away from pristine and glowing throughout, and offering good sound to go with an image that's one almost wants to get lost in; indeed, this disc looks far better than Artisan's release of Marjorie Morningstar, a similar Warner release that made its way into Republic's hands. Ten minutes and 40 seconds in is a close-up of some flowers that look almost 3-D, they're so bright and sharp; and 11 minutes in, as Doris Day's character sings, you can actually see the strings on the harp that her sister is playing. The disc opens to the menu -- a simple and rather melodious one at that, quoting the title-tune -- automatically, and the 18 chapters are more than adequate in covering the movie. There are no extras or bonuses and, one is sorry to have to say, Republic or another interim owner/distributor of the movie (evidently Paramount once had the rights) felt compelled to remove the original end credit visuals (which included the Warner Bros. logo) and replace it with a very cheesy "The End" panel on a blue background; there are ways of getting around the logo problem, such as getting permission from the original distributor, or just going ahead and using it, as all of the London Films releases do with the United Artists name. The disc claims a 120 minute running time, but it clocks in at the film's original release length of 117 minutes.
