Straight Time (1978) - Ulu Grosbard - Blu-ray Forum

With many of my holy grails (Cruising, Charley Varrick, The Parallax View) being released in the last year or so, I figured I might try to wish this one into existence. I picked up the WAC DVD from eBay not too long so here's hoping.

Aside from catching it on Filmstruck some years ago, this one is pretty rare. TCM is airing it this month (3/11- 12:45 AM EST) for those that have not seen and want to check it out. Dustin Hoffman is terrific in this.

Wondering if Warner still has rights and what are the chances. They have been putting out some offbeat obscurities here and there (The Year of Dragon) so one can throw a penny in the wishing well.

Would really like to see this film. Hoping WAC will put it out, should Warner still have it.

Great movie all around. I still own the DVD. The commentary on it is pretty good even though if I remember correctly it barely touches on the fact that Michael Mann originally worked on the script, and if you know anything about Michael Mann the character played by Dustin Hoffman has much in common with other characters in Mann's films like The Jericho Mile, Thief, and Heat.
