One of the great films of the seventies, Hal Ashby's The Last Detail comes to DVD with a choice of two images. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and is superior to the standard full-frame 1.33:1 transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono and is closed-captioned. English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai subtitles are all accessible. Supplemental features include production notes, talent files, and theatrical trailers. If ever there were a case of the film being reason enough to own a disc, this may be it. The superb performances and Robert Towne's brilliant script all convey the same power and humanity on the small screen that they did in the theater. |
