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

\n

George C. Scott stars as the deeply depressed Head of Medicine at a Manhattan teaching hospital where, over one long night, everything falls apart. The doc\u2019s incipient suicide is interrupted only by the arrival of a seductive young woman (DIANA RIGG), the daughter of a crazed patient (BARNARD HUGHES); she gives him something to live for and helps him get to the bottom of the bizarre sudden deaths suddenly plaguing the cold-hearted medical institution.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Hospital<\/em><\/strong> is presented with a 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. There is a fair and noticeable amount of specs and dirt marks in some scenes but detail isn\u2019t bad. The DTS-HD Master Audio 1.0 track isn\u2019t noteworthy but serviceable.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\n

Overall, The Hospital<\/em><\/strong> is a dark comedy that works mostly for George C. Scott though the story itself isn\u2019t only mildly amusing. The Blu-ray has okay video\/audio transfers but lacks many features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
