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

Upon being released after years in a mental hospital, fallen Hollywood star and alcoholic Jack Andrus (KIRK DOUGLAS) moves to Rome in an attempt to revive his career, accepting a small part in an Italian production headed by aged, now-unfashionable director Maurice Kruger (EDWARD G. ROBINSON). When\u00a0Kruger is sidetracked by a heart attack, Andrus steps in as director and struggles to save his mentor’s picture from certain failure \u2013 even as Kruger denounces Andrus and accuses him of betrayal.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

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

\n

The film debuts on Blu-ray presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and given a new 2018 1080p high-definition transfer. This looks quite good in HD where colors are bright but not overly, detail is relatively sharp and I did not notice any major instances of artifacting, aliasing, scratches or any other flaws.<\/p>\n

The included DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono track is adequate but hardly strong. This is mostly a strictly dialogue-driven film and as such, it does come with fine clarity through the center channel, as does the music and score.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

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

\n

Overall, 2 Weeks in Another Town<\/em><\/strong> is a well done, somewhat inside baseball of Hollywood, and a fine follow-up to The Bad and the Beautiful<\/em>, that features two well done performances by screen legends Kirk Douglas and Edward G. Robinson playing well off of one another. This Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection offers up great video and audio transfers but only a trailer for the bonus features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
