The Trap

You can't die now! Not now!...not now!....
Excellent little known film from '59 with Richard Widmark and the great Lee J Cobb.... This one can be viewed either 1:33 or 1:78....the picture is decent, but it looks like a much older film for some reason....it's definitely not the clearest print--but it is very watchable, and the story is pretty good too.... Basically, Widmark is forced to help a mob boss make a safe getaway, but things just don't work out as planned.... This film seems much like a western and could have easily been made as one, as it has a Bad Day at Black Rock kind of feel to it....great stuff here....also, Tina Louise looks much better here than she did on Gilligan's Island....great little twist near the end as well....highly recommended....

Overpriced and poor quality Blu Ray disc...
I'm writing this review to warn those film buffs like myself who may be tempted to pay the high price for this tantalizing disc. With a stellar cast and widescreen blu ray to boot I jumped and boy am I disappointed! This OLIVE release BR is full of grain, color shifts, spots, and is just terrible ...it looks like a poorly colored in black and white film.

To confirm... I'm not reviewing the movie...just letting folks know that to spend 20+ Bucks for this feels terrible as its not up to BR standards.

I have been pleased with Olive so far but today also picked up Ramrod and it IS a black and white movie which is marginally better than this BR in quality... but with Joel McRea and Veronica Lake.. it was worth the gamble.

the trap
