PLOT SYNOPSIS
|
| Henry Tyroon (JAMES GARNER) likes what wealth can bring, but that isn’t why he spends so much time pursuing it. “You do it for fun,” he explains. “Money’s just the way you keep score.” Henry is a flimflammer who lands in New York City after his Texas oil well comes up a duster. He needs a million or so in pocket money to pay his debts. Soon, he also hopes to land a blue-eyed blue chip: a stock analyst (LEE REMICK) pressured by her firm to unload a worthless stock. Can Henry come up with a plan to turn what’s worthless into the hottest thing on Wall Street? |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 0.5/5 |
| Theatrical Trailer (2:57; HD) |
VIDEO – 4.0/5, AUDIO – 3.5/5

| Warner Archive releases The Wheeler Dealers onto Blu-ray with a 1080p high-definition transfer (MPEG-4 AVC codec) and presented with a 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio. For the most part, this is a fine looking HD picture with bright colors, sharp detail and no obvious signs of artifacts, aliasing, dust marks or other major flaws.
The disc comes with your standard but effective enough DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track and considering the majority of the film is dialogue driven, it’s perfectly serviceable. |
OVERALL – 3.5/5 |
|
Overall, The Wheeler Dealers is a cute little romantic-comedy playing to the strengths of both James Garner and Lee Remick, as well as a compelling enough story. The Blu-ray released by Warner’s Archive Collection falls short in the features department and good video/audio transfers. |
