Story Synopsis:
Kiss Me, Guido is a playful independent comedy about mistaken sexual preferences. Apartment-hunting aspiring actor Frankie Zito (Nick Scotti) responds to a GWM classified ad, positive that he will qualify for being a Guy With Money. What he doesn’t know is that his new roomie (Anthony Barrile) is “U.S.-Grade-A-100-Percent” homosexual. But if the unsuspecting, super-macho straight Frankie wants to stay in Manhattan, he must come to terms with the Greenwich Village gay culture.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is matted at 1.85:1. Interiors are slightly plugged up, subdued and wanting in richness, but colors are generally vibrant with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Exteriors exhibit better clarity. Images are generally sharp and detailed with good shadow detail and contrast. There is slight noise and minor artifacts throughout.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The Ultra Stereo® matrix soundtrack is mediocre and definitely low budget. The sound is bright and strident with most scenes produced in poor stereo that often sounds monaural. The music delivers an aggressive surround presence, but it also sounds overly bright. Dialogue is strident and sounds unnatural with poor spatial integration. Overall, this is an annoying experience.
