Steel Magnolias(1989)
Revolving around Truvy's Beauty Parlor in a small parish in modern-day Louisiana, Steel Magnolias is the story of a close-knit circle of friends whose lives come together there. For more about Steel Magnolias and the Steel Magnolias Blu-ray release, see the Steel Magnolias Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on September 11, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Starring: Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, Julia Roberts Director: Herbert Ross » See full cast & crew Steel Magnolias Blu-ray, Video QualitySteel Magnolias is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Twilight Time with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.85:1. This continues Twilight Time's exceptional track record, especially with regard to the Columbia (in this case Tri-Star) catalog titles it has been licensing. While the film has a pretty standard 80's film stock look to it, the image is nicely crisp and very well detailed and the transfer benefits from the elements being in very good condition. Colors are beautifully saturated, though I personally found flesh tones occasionally on the ruddy side and the greens to be slightly florid. Director Herbert Ross and cinematographer John A. Alonzo capture a lot of the small town charm that is at the heart of the story, and the location photography here offers some nice depth of field with good contrast that captures the sun glinted pleasures of the American South. Midrange shots tend to offer some relative softness but the bulk of the film consists of a stable and very clean and clear looking image, and the film's many fans should be extremely well pleased with the results on display here. Steel Magnolias Blu-ray, Audio QualitySteel Magnolias' lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track may not be an immersive sonic showcase, but this very well wrought mix offers some beautifully nuanced aural pleasures that nicely recreate the small town ambience of the piece. Things actually get off to a pretty boisterous start as Drum is running around shooting at birds, offering some nice LFE in spurts. The chaotic plans for the wedding in M'Lynn's household are also nicely splayed through the surrounds, a tendency that continues in several group scenes, including a very nicely done Christmas party about halfway through the film. The rest of the mix depends largely on Georges Delerue's charming score for surround activity, and the sweeping string cues nicely underpin several key sequences. Fidelity is very strong and all dialogue is easily heard. This Twilight Time release does offer optional English SDH subtitles.
