Wow! Super excited for SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION aka NEVER A INCH aka NEVER GIVE AN INCH. Nice to see a Blu-ray upgrade for a title previously released as a no-frills MOD DVD. It's a Universal title, by the way, so hopefully that means more Uni goodies from Shout!, if it's not a limited...
I hear you, Lou. This would appear to be a separate case, however. They appeared to have been solely distributors except for this film. Now, while I do always say take IMDb credits with a grain of salt, this is backed up by IFEX - FBF being listed as copyright holders on the one-sheet...

I really hope this has some extras. It was surely one of the "turkeys" that Reeve used to talk about haunting him on the video shelves, but it is a damned entertaining one. Has anything been hinted at? I'd expect a trailer, but hope that Cliff and co. are able to unearth some other goodies.
That, and, as I understand it, Redford is really not a big fan of this film. Could be that he's not so enthused with what a lout his character is. Of course, that's one of the things that makes '70s cinema so special. The good guys weren't afraid to play truly unsympathetic protagonists.
