Story Synopsis:
Bull Durham is a delightful comedy about two of America’s favorite pastimes: baseball and sex. Kevin Costner plays Crash Davis, a has-been catcher who’s back in the minor leagues and is given an assignment to prepare a cocky young pitcher—“Nuke” LaLoosh (Tim Robbins)—for the jump to the majors. Susan Sarandon stars as Annie Savoy, a baseball groupie and the team’s unofficial trainer who wants to help with Nuke’s preparation. The three are soon involved in a love triangle that keeps the laughs coming.
LaserDisc Picture:
The matted 1.85:1 picture is sharp and detailed with a natural look. Colors are vivid with natural fleshtones and deep, solid blacks. The picture is clean with no noise or artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The sound is a bit bright and dialogue is too forward and out of balance with the scene ambience, but otherwise there is good surround ambiance and envelopment with superb Foley sound effects.
