Story Synopsis:
Diane Wiest won the Academy Award® for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Bullets Over Broadway. This Woody Allen comedy “thriller” was also nominated for six other Oscars® including Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. John Cusack stars as a young writer who needs mob backing to get his first play to Broadway. Along with the mob money comes the demand to put the mobster’s girlfriend in a major role.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is matted at 1.85:1. The picture is generally sharp, however fleshtones are inconsistent and interior scenes generally appear filtered. Grain and noise in dark scenes and some artifacts are apparent.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
Once again Allen tries to pass off mono as advertised “Dolby Stereo SR.” How does he get away with that distortion?
