Sahara (1943)

An American war film directed by Zoltan Korda, starring Humphrey Bogart, Bruce Bennett, Lloyd Bridges and J. Carrol Naish.
An American tank team are in the Sahara desert during WWII. They pick up other survivors lost in the sands and make their way to a fort. The Nazis find them at the fort and there is a conflict.
This was not bad. The plot almost held my attention and they tried their best to differentiate the characters. Most of them had some back-story or developed in some way. The video style was relatively clear, but black and white. I could see what was going on and didn't find any bad editing. The audio was mid-high range biased. A little honky and a little over-trebled. Overall, not bad. I rate it tolerable.

Daniel Boone, Trail Blazer (1956)

An American action western film directed by Albert C. Gannaway and Ismael Rodriguez, starring Bruce Bennett, Faron Young and Lon Chaney Jr.
With an all-star cast like this, you would think it would be a great movie, but no. Faron Young sang a country song and the rest was trash. The acting was bad, editing worse and video looked dirty. The audio was somehow crystal clear like it was recorded yesterday (using vintage equipment, of course). The plot was pointless and the characters were nearly unidentifiable. I'll just go ahead and rate it bad. You're better off listening to Faron Young singing "Long Green Valley" without the rest of the movie.
