MEDUSA & THE MCMASTERS from GENIUS ENTERTAINMENT is a slimline-cased product similar to ones you often see in places like WALMART for a buck each. There are absolutely no extras, not even chapter access.

The Post-Civil War western THE MCMASTERS (1970) is in quite decent condition visually. Headphones reveal an unfiltered audio track with ambient hiss and occasional film crackle-- but the sound is full-range, clear and strong.

MEDUSA is in similar condition: no repaired breaks, decent audio. Eastmancolor here isn't as vibrant as the unidentified stock of "McMasters," and it's a bit hazy by comparison.

Since this product's description adequately cover plots, let's just say that "Medusa" is an absolute turkey (unless you're a fan of the Greek music featured in spots). George Hamilton comes across as laughably bad in this tedious crime story.

"McMasters" is several cuts above by comparison, has an interesting cast, is well-made and this item is recommended STRICTLY for that picture alone. Its transfer quality and bargain price are certain to satisfy.
