Director John Irvin does an outstanding job in capturing the surroundings. The landscape is often elegant as the film unfolds with jungle violence. I recommend you catch this one. It s not a perfect film, but it is an order of magnitude better than most formula films churned out by the movie machine. The sharp anamorphic images are a dram short of perfection.
Color is excellent.
Reds are rich. Blood oozes with swift authority. The night poolside sequence simply sings visually with reflections of blue neon on on the water with a deep black background. The DVD delivers lots of light output and an excellent contrast range. The Movie Poster Archive include extensive poster images from the films of stars like Susan Hayward, Kirk Douglas, Katharine Hepburn and many more.
