Story Synopsis:
Separate Tables is an acclaimed movie about the lives of a group of people at the seaside Beauregard Hotel. David Niven plays a supposed war hero who is looked upon with awe by a timid spinster with a domineering mother. They are joined by Burt Lancaster and Rita Hayworth, a divorced couple trying to make a new start—except that the presence of Wendy Hiller, Lancaster’s mistress, makes this rekindling a bit rocky. The film was nominated for several Academy Awards®, and brought home two.
LaserDisc Picture:
The black and white 1.66:1 picture exhibits a solid gray scale with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. The picture exhibits wonderful brightness, with sharp and detailed images and nicely rendered fine detail and definition. Blacks are deep and solid, and whites exhibit good clarity. There is minor noise and occasional artifacts apparent, but overall this is a nicely rendered picture.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is undistinguished monaural that is compressed and distorted with background hiss and noise.
