Story Synopsis:
Mad Dog And Glory is an unusual love story starring Robert De Niro as Wayne Dobie, a meek police photographer who inadvertently saves the life of a local gangster, Frank Milo (Bill Murray), when he enters a convenience store in the middle of a robbery. As a form of thanks, Milo gives the officer the gift of Glory (Uma Thurman) for a week. Glory and Wayne fall in love, resulting in the inevitable showdown when Frank returns to retrieve her.
LaserDisc Picture:
Exaggerated brightness in interior scenes dulls what would otherwise be a flawless picture. Well balanced and consistent color, well lit night scenes, good shadow detail and sharpness all combine to produce a satisfying visual experience. The matted transfer is 1.85:1.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The Dolby Surround® soundtrack has good fidelity, broad bandwidth and a wonderfully recorded music score featuring Louie Prima. The surround effects are subtle but effective overall. The movie hums when the music envelops the surrounds, otherwise the mix is undistinguished.
