It’s A Pleasure! is preserved in the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.37:1 on DVD from MGM. The early Technicolor feature comes through with some fairly bright colors and with only minimal wear and tear. Mono stereo sound is available in English and French, while optional subtitles in English and Spanish bring up the rear in the A/V department. There are no special features included on this release.
With its joyful-looking cover art, a world-famous skating star in the lead, and a title like It’s A Pleasure!, you’d at least expect some fun song-and-dance routines and a zany screwball Astaire/Rogers-style romance or two. Instead, It’s A Pleasure! wound up being anything but a pleasure for me. Hey, MGM: next time, dig out some honest-to-goodness musicals, will ya?
