    I agree about Barry Newman. He had more than enough screen charisma to have become a big star. For some reason, it didn't happen. I'm very pleased Kino is releasing this disc. Incidentally, I saw this film by mistake! I thought it was a Paul Newman movie I was going to see!

    Good! Brand new master and a 4K release. I held off buying the original Blu-ray disc because just about everyone who did buy it said it was awful. I'll definitely buy this new disc.

    Yes, I agree. A very good first post from you . . . . . but what took you so long? :) Welcome aboard!

    I'm a big fan of William Powell so I'm delighted.

    Speaking as one who normally has little interest in "extras" those "extras" look really interesting.

    Possibly, but a very minor one. I'll let the moderators decide.

    I'll buy this disc. I haven't seen the film for a long time but an important plot point not mentioned above is that the Gene Hackman character has a background of which his son is unaware. The son begins to wise up when his father insists on driving their car!

    I don't know this film but It arouses my interest. In the 1960s Joanna Shimkus was a really trendy public figure. Suddenly she was gone!

    One of the few films that really frightened me . . . and it's not a horror film, at least not conventionally.

    There's also the issue of a drunk getting hold of himself.

    Fans of Rio Bravo should make a point of seeing this film.

    So do I! I'm delighted about this disc which I never expected to see, especially because it's "From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Nitrate FilmGrain"

    I'll be interested to see this again. I saw it when it was new and I felt it was essentially a re-working of The Dirty Dozen. The cast particularly interests me more now that when the film was first released.

    I'm surprised by this. I've obviously had the wrong impression of Piper Laurie. It's been known for some time that she had a pretty sour opinion of the films she made at Universal - an opinion I don't share - but I wasn't aware that expletives were part of her normal vocabulary.

    Just to remind people, in Casablanca Joy Page played the Bulgarian refugee being propositioned by Claude Rains. I didn't know she was sometimes billed as Joanne Page. Normally a film like this would not interest me, but as she's in it, I'd like to see the movie, particularly as Wendell Corey...

    For me, a mandatory purchase! I'm very pleased.

    I've seen this film only on television a long, long time ago. If the "word" on this disc is positive, I'll buy it.

    She also appeared a few films made by 20th Century Fox, White Feather being an example. She was excellent in Violent Saturday and is the only reason I'm interested in this new disc.

    Very good news about the 4K scan from the OCN, and I'll listen to Julie Kirgo's commentary with interest. The other commentary I'll ignore. Thanks in advance for this release.

    Not my kind of movie, but that's a brilliant slugline: No Gun. No Knife, No Equal.

    Oh, I'm very pleased about this. I saw this film in the 1960s when it was new but I've never seen it again, not even on television. Frankly, I don't remember much about it. I'm a big admirer of Alain Delon and I've always like Lola Albright on the few occasions I've managed to see her in...

    Olive already released this title on Blu-ray. Is this new 2022 transfer going to be much better?

    . . . of which I have two copies! One, as part of a two-films-on-one-disc package combination with The Man From The Alamo and the second within that wonderful Rita Hayworth Blu-ray box-set.

    I have the MOD DVD and I'll have another look at it to decide if I want to upgrade. The film's very enjoyable and it contains my favorite performance from Piper Laurie. She plays the spirited but haughty and snobbish daughter of a rich man and does it really well.

    I'm pleased about this. I saw the film when it first came out and I enjoyed it. The critical establishment sneered at the film as being old-fashioned and it was very rarely shown in repertory theaters in those long ago days before VHS. I look forward to seeing the film again. An extra bonus is...
