It's too late to be any good to you now, but a similar thing happened to
me---a friend and I rented ``Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,'' thinking that it
would be the original, but it turned out to be a later version, which
was a musical, of all things.  We watched it, it was okay, but when I
returned the movie I told Blockbuster that it wasn't the one I expected,
and they gave me a coupon to rent the one I wanted for free.  (Again,
there was no way to distinguish the two---they were both in those blue
and yellow cases Blockbuster uses, and both with the same title---only
the year was different, and that's easy to miss.)
