Story Synopsis:
Hannie Caulder is based on characters created by Ian Quicke and Bob Richards in a story of the West about a young woman (Raquel Welch) who is determined to avenge the murder of her husband and her own rape from three ruthless thugs. When renowned bounty hunter Thomas Luther Price (Robert Culp) happens on the burnt-to-the-ground farm house, Hannie persuades him to let her travel with him and teaches her how to shoot. Its only a matter of time before Hannie catches up with three Clemmens Brothers, Ernest Borgnine, Strother Martin and Jack Elam, and puts an end to their blazing a trail of destruction throughout the West.
LaserDisc Picture:
The Panavision® picture has been re-framed at 2.22:1. Fleshtones appear with an orange hue in some scenes but otherwise this is a naturally good looking transfer. The source element appears to be a print with good de-tail. The original theatrical widescreen cinematography was expansive but the sides have been cropped lessening the impact.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The monaural soundtrack is adequate. A stereo mix would have better complemented this well-produced British-American film.
