Custer of the West Reviews
Epic Western that Fails
I just recently purchased the widescreen addition of "Custer" and I have to say it's not too bad really. The only thing that annoys me is the poor Music score, it sounds so European, No melody nothing to compliment the Cinerama spectacle it trys to convey. Robert Shaw gives a fair performance, but not brilliant. Widescreen print is fair, sound is also average (stereo). A little dissapointed overall, as I remember this film being much better when I first saw it aged 7.
MGM, please keep in touch with the times!
It seems hardly acceptable that in 2004 some studios still release widescreen DVDs without 16:9 enhancement. Well, this is the flaw that will bring my rating down to 3 stars. Too bad, because this DVD is otherwise nice-looking. And - oh yes, in case you're wondering - don't let the inaccurate mention on the jacket fool you: the film is presented in its correct 70 mm 2,20:1 aspect ratio, not in 1,85:1. Please MGM, also double-check your jackets!
