Mountain Men

Although Mountain Men probably won't end up on anyone's top list of great Westerns, fans of legendary actor Charlton Heston will probably consider that his appearance alone more than justifies a viewing. Heston and Brian Keith play two craggy fur trappers who, if not hunting or getting into trouble, seem to always be fighting Indians. Columbia-TriStar Home Entertainment's disc, unfortunately, is not presented in the 2.35:1 widescreen format that the film was originally shot in. Nevertheless, the full-screen transfer is acceptable. The picture is sharp and clear, for the most part, and genuinely looks fine. The disc also comes with a French-language option, multiple subtitles, some bonus trailers for other Columbia-TriStar films, and more. Definitely not the best of Heston's long list of films, but worth a look if you're a completist.
