Title: Good film / So-so tape
Review: HARD TIMES (1975) - (Walter Hill, dir.)With Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Jill Ireland and Strother Martin.Set in New Orleans in the early '30s, this streetboxer story is considered by many to be Bronson's best movie."Hard Times" is quite enjoyable but this particular edition from GOODTIMES only rates two stars because of manufacturing limitations. The brand dubbed tapes in LP mode, thus they have a degraded picture quality compared to SP transfers. Audio is linear mono instead of the far superior HiFi stereo.For anyone who seeks a quality VHS of this work, you'll be pleased with the1996 SONY/COLUMBIAversion.
