[t1g3r5fan]

Today, North Dallas Forty. Ted Kotcheff – a native of Canada – has carved out a career as a talented director spanning different continents and following in the mold set by the likes of Leo McCarey and Robert Wise. After attracting international attention with the Australian New Wave movie Wake in Fright (1971), he returned to his native Canada to make The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1974) before Hollywood came calling for his services. By the end of the decade, he had made two comedies – Fun with Dick and Jane (1977) for Columbia Pictures and Who’s Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? (1978) for Warner Bros. – and would hit upon his first critical success in Tinseltown with North Dallas Forty. Released by Paramount Pictures on DVD and on Region Free Blu-ray by Imprint, Kino has licensed the movie for its UHD Blu-ray debut.

Thanks for your review, Mychal. Never have seen this one- will blind-buy it.

This film was a favorite of my Dad's - we went to see it several times, including a drive in. Not a big favorite of mine, but it brings back good memories so I will definitely buy a copy of this one. I must say that Nick Nolte was the perfect actor for the role. A great performance.

It’s got some terrific performances. A shame that Davis’ career didn’t quite take off the way he had hoped as he turns in a solid performance. A great performance from Nolte.
