Notes

Story Synopsis:
Eastwood produced and directed this modern Western which rode off with four 1992 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Best Director. Eastwood and Freeman play retired, down-on-their-luck outlaws William Munny and Ned Logan, who pick up their guns one more time to collect a bounty offered by vengeful prostitutes for the defacing of one of theirs by a drunken cowboy.

DVD Picture:
First reviewed in Issue 4, the single edition LaserDisc and a box set LaserDisc, Eastwood Special Collector’s Edition, which includes The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider and Unforgiven, exhibit the same superb picture quality throughout.
The DVD is anamorphically enhanced for widescreen 1.78:1 aspect ratio displays and in that mode sharpness and detail are dramatically improved compared to the LaserDiscs. When viewed in the component video format, chroma fidelity also is enhanced with fully saturated colors and finer detail and resolution. Detail is excellent even in the darker night scenes and dimly lit interior scenes which are prominent throughout. Shadow detail is excellent with virtually no noise apparent in the dark scenes. Landscapes look perfectly natural as do fleshtones in difficult interiors. The Panavision® scope framing on the LaserDisc is 2.42:1 while the anamorphic and letterbox are 2.40:1.


Soundtrack:
The DVD’s Dolby® Digital 5.1 discrete soundtrack is preferred for its spatially aggressive envelopment and use of the split surround capability. The LaserDisc matrix PCM version, while dynamic, is not as discretely spacious sounding.
