Story Synopsis:
Rough Night In Jericho is based on the novel The Man In Black by Marvin H. Al-bert and stars Dean Martin as Alex Flood, an ex-lawman turned bully who now owns 51 percent of all the businesses in Jerico, a town he once helped to clean up. The only hold-out is the beautiful widow Molly Lang played by Jean Simmons. She owns the stagecoach line and is Flood’s romantic interest. In rides George Peppard as Deputy U.S. Marshall Dolan. Dolan refuses to take Flood on. But just how far can he be pushed? This is a real rooten-tooten shoot-’em-up concept western, the kind of tele-features they used to make with the typical contrived script.
LaserDisc Picture:
The Techniscope frame is presented at 2.32:1 and the source element appears to be from a print with good detail. The tele-feature aspect is evident in the overly lit and treated scenes. Fleshtones are natural, however, and the picture exhibits good contrast, vivid colors and deep blacks for an overall pleasing look. Some artifacts are noticeable as well as slight grain and noise in night scenes.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack was released as optical monaural and is presented here in the undistinguished format.
