Gary Sinyor's remake of a Buster Keaton classic, The Bachelor comes to DVD with two different pictures. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and is preferable to the standard full-frame 1.33:1 image. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible, and both soundtracks are closed-captioned. Although this film failed to click with audiences, the disc has been loaded with some interesting extras in order to entice people who are reluctant to give the film a chance. Although the disc itself contains just the original theatrical trailer, the DVD-ROM material includes script-to-screen access, wedding resources, and updated cast and crew information. |
