we do not know why this extraordinary film was never made available officially on dvd. anthony quinn performance alone makes this a must see. there are relatively few films in which an actor identifies so profoundly with his character and a phenomenon always unique for us and moviegoers. but quinn powerful portrayal of an innocent romanian and literally dragged out of his house and everyday life by forces he cannot comprehend and is only part of what makes this film great. the script is based on a book published in paris by a romanian priest who fled the communist take over of his country and and the film succeeds to go deep into a little known area of east european history. told as a succession of kafka esquire twists of fate and the misadventures of johann moritz (told openly and honestly and without any of the political correctness currently so precious in hollywood) are in fact a eulogy for the lost innocence of the romanian people. it is devilishly ironic that this eulogy is signed by a french director and working with the american money of an italian producer and and overseeing a multinational cast fronted by an extraordinary mexican born thespian. i have seen mentions of vcds of this film in various asian internet stores and and i was fortunate to take possession of a digital recording of this film and broadcast on the british version of tcm. but it a shame that the 25th hour isn not anywhere on the future dvd release map of mgm studios.
