I've actually never seen this, but have heard plenty of good things over the years, so I'll be buying this.

The Great Owl · 07-15-2021, 04:49 PM

Yes! I'm all in.

drush9999 · 07-15-2021, 04:49 PM

Great film, and Bogart is fantastic.

After WAC broke my monthly heart for a decade. Day 1

javi92 · 07-15-2021, 04:53 PM

Finally. Best news in a long while.

Hoke Moseley · 07-15-2021, 05:17 PM

Holy sh-t... I missed the fact that Colorado Territory is included. I like that even more than High Sierra tbh.

To be fair, Criterion probably licensed it 3 years ago and is just now getting around to releasing it.

MifuneFan · 07-15-2021, 05:22 PM

The extras for this are quite extensive. I mean, besides the other Walsh feature-film, the documentary that's inclded about him has a run time of 1hr and 40 minutes.

Shanghai Express · 07-15-2021, 05:25 PM

This will be 2 discs

BluProofie · 07-15-2021, 05:41 PM

Great news!

(Insert perfunctory "I literally just caved bought the DVD this week" remark here)

Also, you're welcome.

captainsolo · 07-15-2021, 06:08 PM

Day one hour one second one. Holy moly what a surprise and with a substantial extras package plus Colorado Territory! Am I dreaming?

dressedtokill · 07-15-2021, 06:11 PM

Surprisingly I've never seen this film, but considering the talent involved it's a must. That being said, I'm a bit worried how this will turn out A/V wise. I mean, between the fact that Criterion is hit and miss with their encoding and the fact that it includes another movie plus a documentary, it just seems a lot for one disc. Hopefully, this ends up being a 2 disc release to avoid compression issues.

The website says that it's a 2-disc release.

More Bogart on blu is a good thing. I'll definitely be getting this one.
