Inferno is a cheesy but fun suspense yarn from the 1950s utilizing fantastic 3D technology and, at least what I’ve received, the first 3D title released by Twilight Time which offers a solid video and audio transfers but a bit limited in the features department.

When selfish and arrogant millionaire Donald Carson (ROBERT RYAN) fractures his leg during a desert vacation, his wife, Geraldine (RHONDA FLEMING), leaves with their friend Joseph Duncan (WILLIAM LUNDIGAN) to supposedly get help. However, the two of them are really lovers who are leaving Carson to die in the heat. Slowly, Carson realizes he is on his own and vows revenge on the traitorous couple. Having had a privileged life, Carson must now use his wits to stay alive.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES – 2.0/5


Along with the usual 8-page booklet is an Audio Commentary with Film Historian Alan K. Rode and Robert Ryan’s Daughter Lisa Ryan; A New Dimension of Noir: Filming Inferno in 3D (15:34; HD) featurette and the Original Theatrical Trailer (2:13; HD).

 


VIDEO – 3.75/5, AUDIO – 3.5/5


Inferno comes to Blu-ray through Twilight Time and is presented with a full frame 1.33 aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. This is a bit mixed because detail isn’t bad, albeit not entirely sharp, and colors appear bright and vibrant, but there is heavy grain, which in itself is fine, but numerous instances of dust marks, scratches and specs permeate throughout.


OVERALL – 3.0/5


Overall, Inferno is a cheesy but fun suspense yarn from the 1950s utilizing fantastic 3D technology and, at least what I’ve received, the first 3D title released by Twilight Time which offers a solid video and audio transfers but a bit limited in the features department.
