Story Synopsis:
This five Academy Award-winning film stars Hoffman as overworked adman Ted Kramer whose wife Joanna (Streep) decides its time to “find herself”and leaves him and her six-year-old son. Hoffman soon learns to be a single parent, getting to know his son better and learn more about life. But Joanna comes back and files a custody suit, threatening the father-son bond. An emotionally warm and touching film.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture has been matted at 1.85:1. The picture is extremely natural looking with an overall subdued texture. Interior scenes are well lit and natural in appearance with good shadow detail. Fleshtones are natural and color fidelity is generally accurate, al-though subdued. Both detail and black level are good. While there are some apparent artifacts, only the slightest grain is visible.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
Back in 1979 most films were produced with a monaural soundtrack, even though the technology was there and premiere theatres were equipped to play stereo. Kramer vs. Kramer was one of those pictures that never benefited from a stereo presentation.
