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

The Yellow Handkerchief<\/em><\/strong>, based on a series of 1971 columns written by American journalist Pete Hamill, tells the tale of a road trip spontaneously undertaken by a trio whose back stories are revealed through subtly nuanced flashbacks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Twilight Time releases The Yellow Handkerchief<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. For the most part, especially for a 40 year old film, looks good with fine detail and no major damage. The disc also includes a standard but nice DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track and considering this is almost entirely dialogue-driven, you\u2019re not going to be wowed or it will show off some incredibly depth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Overall, The Yellow Handkerchief<\/em><\/strong> is a nicely acted road trip drama that works on an emotional level. The Blu-ray released through Twilight Time offers good video and audio transfers but there are no bonus features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
