Story Synopsis:
“Bull Durham” is a delightful comedy about two of America’s favorite pastimes: baseball and sex. Kevin Costner, Tim Robbins, and Susan Sarandon become involved in a love triangle that keeps the laughs coming. (Gary Reber)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits improvements in color fidelity when compared to the previously released DVD (Issue 31). Hues appear more natural and refined while the previous DVD exhibits slightly oversaturated and smeared colors. Fleshtones appear accurate and blacks are deep and solid. The bar scene in Chapter 4 is completely saturated with red overtones on the previous DVD, while colors are more natural on this new DVD. Images are generally sharp and nicely detailed, with good contrast and shadow delineation. At times, the picture can have a soft quality. There is some pixelization, but little edge enhancement. The source element is revealing of some film grain and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)
The DVD also includes a modified 1.33:1 version (not reviewed).
Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel remastered soundtrack delivers respectable dimensionality in terms of the music. The general sonic character can be characterized as somewhat strident, though, and the original recording's dated fidelity shines through. The dialogue adequately serves its purpose, but isn't very well-anchored in the center channel. Directionality with background effects is quite ample, generating subtle yet fairly effective expansiveness with soundstaging. The music serves as the primary multichannel element. Deep bass is somewhat reserved, though with modest .1 LFE content. (Perry Sun)
