Overview

Jeff Bridges stars in the 1972 Western Bad Company. Paramount's work on this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is solid if unexciting. The image is generally free of any dirt or grain, though a small amount of edge enhancement pops up in a few key scenes. Overall, the colors and black levels are solid and firm, making this a pleasing first-ever widescreen transfer for fans of the film. The audio is presented in a very flat Dolby Digital 1.0 Mono soundtrack in English. While the bulk of the dialogue, effects, ...

More About This Product

Overview

Jeff Bridges stars in the 1972 Western Bad Company. Paramount's work on this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is solid if unexciting. The image is generally free of any dirt or grain, though a small amount of edge enhancement pops up in a few key scenes. Overall, the colors and black levels are solid and firm, making this a pleasing first-ever widescreen transfer for fans of the film. The audio is presented in a very flat Dolby Digital 1.0 Mono soundtrack in English. While the bulk of the dialogue, effects, and music are clear of any excessive hiss or distortion, the mix suffers from only being filtered though the center speaker. Also available on this disc are English subtitles. Those hoping for even a single solitary extra feature will be sorely disappointed in this DVD -- Bad Company is a completely bare-bones disc.

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide - Lucia Bozzola
Making his assured directorial debut with an intelligently entertaining genre piece, Robert Benton takes a decidedly unsentimental view of the frontier myths of male bonding and opportunity for the Western Bad Company 1972. Set during the Civil War, Benton and Bonnie and Clyde 1967 collaborator David Newman's screenplay subtly evokes the Vietnam era in its focus on two young draft dodgers, pious Barry Brown and larcenous Jeff Bridges. Rather than a place of freedom and opportunity, the West they find is an unglamorous prairie wasteland of petty thieves, physical threats, rough justice, and shifting loyalties. Benton maintains a low-key, thoughtful tone occasionally leavened by bits of humor, while Gordon Willis' expressive, autumnal cinematography and Harvey Schmidt's piano score quietly underline the evolution of Brown's upstanding values as he confronts the West's moral relativity. Though not as well-known as such other contemporary revisionist Westerns as The Wild Bunch 1969 and Little Big Man 1970, Bad Company stands as another engaging elegy to the ultimate American myth.
