Movie Review: Odd wide screen cut
Summary: 4 Stars
FYI: Tho this is labled as widescreen, it does not capture the film shown in the theater. It lops off the top and bottom of the film and provides a TV screen type close up of the action.
Summary of The Big Easy
Highly original crime yarn with steamy romance and unique New Orleans atmosphere. A stylish homicide detective (Quaid) runs afoul of the new uptight assistant D. A. (Barkin) while investigating a local mob murder; soon theyre romantically involved even while theyre at odds professionally. Sassy and sexy with terrific Cajun music score. Written by Daniel Petrie Jr. Later a cable TV series.System Requirements:Director: Jim McBride Starring: Dennis Quaid et al. Region 1 encoding (for use in US and Canada only) Color Closed-captioned Theatrical trailer(s) Widescreen letterbox format Number of discs: 1 Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?031398700234 Manufacturer No:?71048An atmospheric and sexy crime caper, this stars Dennis Quaid as a New Orleans police detective. He's a smooth talker who butts heads with the new assistant district attorney, Ellen Barkin. She's rigid and plays by the rules; he is mildly corrupt. They soon find themselves romantically entwined, and a bit chagrined.
Director Jim McBride (Great Balls of Fire) was in top form with this 1987 sizzler. You may not remember the particulars of the plot, which concerns supposed gang killings and police corruption, because it is the romance that has staying power. Blame this on Quaid and Barkin, who send off enough sparks to light up Bourbon Street. They are not only sexy together, but endearing, which makes you want to like them as much as they like each other. --Rochelle O'Gorman
