Pony Soldier(1952)
In 1876, Duncan MacDonald joins the new, 300-member Mounted Police in western Canada, just in time for a dangerous mission. It seems the Cree Indians, raiding across the border in Montana, took two hostages for their safe return to Canada. But MacDonald, with only scout Natayo to help, will need all his diplomacy and then some to extract the captives from the midst of a thousand Cree.

Newman » See full cast & crew Pony Soldier Blu-ray, Video QualityPony Soldier is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Twilight Time with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.33:1. This is unfortunately one of the more ragged looking releases we've seen coming from Twilight Time (which got their HD master from Fox). The Fox outings Twilight Time has released have sometimes not quite reached the near impeccable levels of the Sony-Columbia titles the label also licenses, but this particular release has a fairly murky overall appearance, and I would be shocked if this HD presentation has been culled from an IP. (Stranger things have happened, so I'm only too happy to admit I could be mistaken.) While colors are okay looking, they simply don't quite pop with "true" three strip Technicolor boldness—look, for example, how the Mounties' red uniforms tip ever so slightly toward the orange end of the spectrum (and actually most of these screenshots don't really represent how much tipping is evident throughout this presentation). The image rarely is more than acceptably sharp and well defined (though a few isolated scenes suddenly increase in sharpness and saturation), and in fact a lot of the midrange and wide shots are pretty fuzzy looking. The elements themselves are in good enough condition, with only fairly minor (and expected) minor flecks and specks showing up very intermittently. Pony Soldier Blu-ray, Audio QualityPony Soldier's lossless DTS-HD Master Audio Mono mix is generally effective, although it's hampered by its era's recording technology, which tends to make everything sound slightly closed in and artificial sounding at times. Dialogue and score are relatively well mixed (I personally would have loved Alex North's score to have been more forward in several key scenes, though the isolated score track offered here as a supplement is outstanding and helps to largely ameliorate that qualm). Fidelity is very good within the narrow confines of this track and dynamic range is fairly wide, though Pony Soldier really doesn't have any battles to speak of, and most of the range is due to North's score and some screeching Cree.
