The Nickel Ride (1974) - Blu-ray Forum

Directed by Robert Mulligan and starring Jason Miller (fresh off The Exorcist), this is a low-key little crime film that got nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes but subsequently disappeared after a limited theatrical run. It has something of a cult following and appeared in the line-up at Quentin Tarantino's first "QT Fest."

It took until 2011 for this under-seen gem to even arrive on DVD. Shout! Factory released it as a double-feature with Frankenehimer's 99 and 44/100% Dead. The print looked good on that disc but it's high time for a high-def version. As a Fox catalog title, maybe Twilight Time could step up, as they did with The Other?

Would make a great release on Kino Lorber or Vinegar Sydrome especially since it looks like Shout Factory let the double feature DVD go out of print.

You could go to Amazon via a link from this site and still pick up the Shout Factory Double-feature DVD for $12.21 new as of now. I don't think it's OOP just yet.

As a Fox (and therefore Disney) title, I don't know what distributor would be most likely to take this one. I only know Jordan Cronenweth's photography deserves the best possible presentation.
