Arthur Penn's1976 The Missouri Breaks, with a very interesting lead actor pairing of Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson, has arrived on Blu-ray from MGM via Kino Lobber.
With color and densities looking reasonable, and with rather active second generation grain, the image works on Blu-ray. This is an interesting film, in part because of the odd performance from Mr. Brando, which seems out of tune with the film. In ways, rather like his sissified Fletcher Christian in the 1962 Mutiny on the Bounty.
On Blu-ray, the film has a slightly sharpened appearance, which is never really troublesome. Color and densities appear to work nicely for the Montana countryside.
As noted, this is an interesting and good film, but unfortunately, never a great one.
