The Morning After (1986) (Shout! Factory)

[larrys]

As big of a surprise this release is (a very nice surprise) an even bigger surprise to me would be if Shout released Lumet's other 1986 film, Power. Like Morning After it is a second tier Lumet film but it also has a great cast (Richard Gere, Gene Hackman, Julie Christie). I hold no hopes of WAC ever releasing this on blu ray but would love to get rid of my dvd with its mediocre PQ. Another 80s Lumet dvd I would love to upgrade but will never see on BD: Just Tell Me What You Want.

For the curious, 'Power' is currently streaming on Tubi. To me it is a spiritual sequel to 'Network'. Great cast but hardly the classic that 'Network' is.

I watched The Morning After and Jagged Edge in the video days in the late 80's and remember liking the latter better. If you had to choose between the two, which would you all prefer?

How very dare you!

Second-tier Sidney Lumet films are not a "thing".

Either it's a Sidney Lumet film or it's not.

Very glad about this. The Morning After has been on my Blu-ray film titles wishlist for some time. Had thought this would be coming from the WAC, but no complaints with it being released by Shout. Fingers crossed for a new restoration/master, but not expecting many extras (but I hope there are one or two audio and video interview extras if there are some).

I love the Wiz!

Now Bye Bye Braverman, Lumet doing comedy, is something else entirely . . .
