Story Synopsis:
Hoffa is more than a story about the rise and fall of labor organizer James Riddle Hoffa (Jack Nicholson) whose notoriety as president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters was rivaled only by the controversy surrounding his mysterious disappearance in 1975. This an impressively scaled epic about one of the most paradoxical chapters of Amer-ican history-organized labor and the struggles of the common man in America to advance into the middle class.
LaserDisc Picture:
The beautiful widescreen 2.30:1 framed cinematography is marred by a less than sharp transfer and unnatural reddish fleshtones.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound lacks the dynamics and dimensionality of the finest soundtracks, although dialogue intelligibility is excellent. Sadly the presentation quality is not on a parity with other THX® LaserDiscs which make claims to perfection
