Sydney
Pollack's 1977 romantic drama film Bobby
Deerfield
will pull at your heartstrings as Al Pacino gives one of his greatest
on-screen performances vastly different than those in The Godfather
films or Scarface.
Here he plays a troubled race car driver who has fame and fortune
(as a race car driver) but a lonely heart. When he meets the love of
his life, Lillian (Keller), who has some medical problems - he soon
lets her in and finds that love isn't just a fairytale after all.
The
film did not do well when first released, too slow for race car fans
(these films never seem to be hit for their stars, even when focusing
on the racing; this has little such footage) and the industry was
changing back to less mature, adult blockbuster fare, so this film
got trapped in all that. Now is the time for people to give it
another look and chance, especially Pacino fans.
Bobby
Deerfield stars Al Pacino, Marthe Keller, Anny Duprerey, Walter
McGinn, Romolo Valli, and Stephen Meldegg.
The
film looks stunning in 1080p high definition and a widescreen aspect
ratio of 2.35:1 with vibrant colors and flesh tones. The audio mixes
are 2.0 DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) Stereo lossless. DTS-MA 1.0 Mono
lossless and better DTS-MA 5.1 lossless tracks that sound remarkably
good for their age, pitting you in the center of the film's action
and a vast improvement over the DVD sound mix.
