Story Synopsis:
Based on David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize winning play, Glengarry GlenRoss is a highly regarded “actors film.” The story is about the interaction of a group of hard-core real estate salesmen at Premiere Properties, some on the rise and some on the decline, but all lacking belief in the value of their product, and desperate for leads. Only Ricky Roma (Al Pacino) is on a hot streak. The Glengary sales leads could turn everything around if only these “losers” could get hold of them. There are hardly any scene changes, the film is virtually all dialog. And great dialog it is. The acting, featuring an all-star cast, is superb but the mood is cynical and not very uplifting. This is a film to respect for its tour de force performances.
LaserDisc Picture:
Picture quality is excellent with no faults of any kind apparent. Flesh tones look natural and color balance is good. The aspect ratio is the theatrical scope 2.35:1.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound is good with excellent dialogue intelligibility and a hint of surround (there really wasn’t much opportunity to use surround effects as nearly all scenes are small interiors). James Newton Howard’s music is excellent and sounds great.
