Texas 1935. It’s a time of boomtowns or bust for oil wildcatters and, repeatedly, derby-topped Mr. Cox has come out flat busted. Not to worry. Mr. Cox has a mule – headed optimism. He’s sure as the sunrise that near the town of Henrietta on a cotton farm that raises more dust than bolls, there’s black gold beneath the barren sod. From Clint Eastwood‘s production company, The Stars Fell on Henrietta is a sweet – natured tail of hope and redemption. As Mr. Cox, Robert Duvall has another acclaimed performance to his gallery of great roles. And Aiden Quinn, Francis Fisher and Brian Dennehy shine as Lone Star denizens, not so much swayed, as gradually infected by Cox’s unflagging will. That optimism, you’ll discover, is catching. Are a doodlebug rod, tasting the soil, or even tossing the cat and marking where it lands unusual way to find oil? Yes. Are they hopeless? Never. Or, as Mr. Cox might say, “You’ve got to hitch your wagon to a star, sweetheart.“

This and War of the Buttons? Somebody over at Warner Archive is a fan of Empire Records!

Something very off with this disc.

The 5.1 audio is messed up and directs most all of the activity into the center, including the music, which is also recorded at a volume far lower than the dialogue. I haven't seen the film before but unless there's something wrong with the source track I can't imagine this is how it's supposed to sound.

The transfer is also odd, outdoor scenes are smeared in DNR while interiors have detail. The site review mentions it too, it's far from the best release the Archive has put out.

Woohoo! 'The Stars Fell on Henrietta' finally getting the Blu-ray treatment is fantastic news. Robert Duvall’s performance is always a treat, and the 2024 1080p HD Master sounds like a perfect upgrade for fans of this classic.
