PLOT SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Chase<\/em><\/strong> is all-star in every department, with Arthur Penn (Bonnie and Clyde<\/em>) directing from a Lillian Hellman adaptation of a Horton Foote play, and a cast including the sterling likes of Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford, E.G. Marshall, Angie Dickinson, Janice Rule, Robert Duvall, and James Fox. The film focuses on a small, corrupt Texas town where a prison break exposes local secrets, lies, and violence.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Chase<\/em><\/strong> comes to Blu-ray from Twilight Time presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. This is a movie going on 50 years old and looks pretty damn good; colors are a bit tamped down geared more toward natural tones while detail is relatively sharp throughout and there were no major instances of artifacts, aliasing or other flaws.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The movie includes a DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track which is more than serviceable be it for the crisp and clear dialogue-driven scenes (which comprises the majority of the film) or the more action-centric sequences helping rounding out the lossless track. There\u2019s some nice depth to this singular track that is satisfactory.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, The Chase<\/em><\/strong> is an all-star centered crime-drama and an acting tour-de-force from Marlon Brando to Jane Fonda and Robert Redford. It\u2019s somewhat of a forgotten film but thankfully finds a home on Blu-ray through Twilight Time\u2019s Limited Edition series that features great video and audio transfers though falls short in the bonus material department.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
