Story Synopsis:
MacKenna’s Gold is based on the novel by Will Henry which is a story about the marshal of Hadleyburg, Colorado, played by Gregory Peck, who in 1874 is forced to lead a group of gold-crazed good guys and bad guys to a lost canyon in the hills, in search of MacKenna’s Gold.
LaserDisc Picture:
Framed at 2.32:1 with noise and artifacts throughout. Save your money!
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
On this release the overture, intermission and exit music are missing along with the directionalized dialogue. In fact, the sound is undistinguished MONO and awfully distorted as well!
