The film captures the color and shadow of the American desert southwest. There are almost no dolly and crane shots. Much of the film takes place in large American cars driving along desert highways. The sound recordists and [[foley artist]]s did a good job weaving appropriate sounds such as the idle of a V8 engine or the transmit function tone of a two-way radio system. The ticking sound from the rental trailer in the film helped the viewer follow this one detail of the film. The scoring and ambient sound levels have an appropriate (nice and wide) dynamic range. The film makers were meticulous with most details such as car door slam sounds and their timing. Even George's Polaroid camera sounded right and was timed accurately.

Two of the speeded-up sequences, including the one where the blue [[Cadillac]] arrives at the café, challenged the laws of physics. A few minor sounds were flops. Chang's telephone shown on screen was one with a ''[[Western Electric|Western Electric C-4A]]'' ringer but the ringing sound used was from the ringer of an [[Automatic Electric Company|Automatic Electric]] phone. The [[Siren (noisemaker)|siren]] sounds in two scenes were warped by the film staff to end with a downward pitch which didn't sound real.

Lewis and Clark and George is a 1996 comedy crime thriller film directed by Rod McCall.

Plot

Lewis and Clark and George opens with Salvator Xuereb (playing Lewis) and Dan Gunther (Clark) at a water tank site wearing prison jump suits. The scene is desert scrub and the two state prison escapees have just located a buried metal box with a loaded revolver, treasure map, and Cuban cigars. A road trip begins as the two hike off through the desert to find the treasure.

Technical

Two of the speeded-up sequences, including the one where the blue Cadillac arrives at the café, challenged the laws of physics. A few minor sounds were flops. Chang's telephone shown on screen was one with a Western Electric C-4A ringer but the ringing sound used was from the ringer of an Automatic Electric phone. The siren sounds in two scenes were warped by the film staff to end with a downward pitch which didn't sound real.

Locations used are in or near Hillsboro, Sierra County, New Mexico. Other locations include Kingston and the A & B Drive In in Truth or Consequences.

Cast
