Story Synopsis:
Brewster McCloud is a irreverent comedy about a serial killer who is actually a enigmatic angel (Sally Kellerman) protector to a young man (Bud Cort) who builds a self-propelled flying suit beneath the Houston Astro-dome. Shelly Duvall appears in her first role as an Astrodome tour guide with her trademark egg-sized eyes. Weird, yes, but nevertheless fascinating as director Robert Altman weaves a wildly improbable plot, rich satirical screenplay and manic humor. While a cult hit today, this was a bomb and lost money. It is definitely an acquired taste.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture on this 2.35:1 transfer has apparent grain with visible artifacts. Images have a natural color balance but colors are a bit overall subdued.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The monaural soundtrack is passable but undistinguished.
