As Good As This Film Gets In Visual Presentation To Date
There's never going to be a pristine version of this movie til it's remastered...presuming that original negatives are available andthat's even possible...until then this is the best version of the movie I've seen...it's watchable...even on a big screen TV...and youare able to suspend belief and watch Laughton create another in his seemingly endless supply of historical characters bigger than life.I'd forgotten what a stone face Randolph Scott was. Taking great liberties with the historical facts this is a very entertainingmovie in its own right. If you don't expect hi-def clarity and know the limitations of the original medium you won't be disappointed.
