Frank Sinatra: Tony Rome

"Gordon M. Douglas' Tony Rome, starring Frank Sinatra, made it to laserdisc in the late '80s in a fairly good transfer, but the 2005 Fox DVD runs circles around that 12-inch platter for clarity and richness of color. The letterboxed image (2.35:1) gives a fine account of the widescreen Panavision image, which director Douglas fills with worthwhile detail and activity -- seeing it any other way makes for a string of artificial close-ups; and the audio is well mastered as well, with lots of presence to the dialogue and the appropriately busy score. The movie has been given a very generous 20 chapters, easily accessible through a simple two-layer menu that opens automatically on start-up. The only special features are the original trailers to this movie and its sequel, Lady in Cement (1968), co-starring Raquel Welch, and a string of trailers from a handful of unrelated Welch-starring Fox titles of the same period."
