Shelton shoes a special gift in bringing out fully natural performances from his team of actors. The anamorphic transfer presents Bull Durham in its best uniform. With a comfortable contrast range, every lighting condition is beautifully transferred. Detail and color are presented with equal care. Colors are vibrant.
Images are sharp with no obvious edge enhancement.
Film grain is recorded tightly. The dialogue on the Dolby Digital 2-channel sound appears recorded slightly high. The music fares very well. You may have trouble keeping your tapping feet still. There are lots of baseball details, production smiles, and above all, Shelton is thoroughly engaging.
