Fantastic!

TCM showed it somewhat recently in HD and the few minutes I saw looked really good. Very excited to be able to pick this up.

If you haven't seen this movie, you have a treat coming.

I saw it in original release and many times since. The film belongs to a certain time and place but isn't dated at all and holds up for a modern audience. Terrific cast, Richard Dreyfus at his very best.

Terrific cast, Richard Dreyfus at his very best.

The first time I saw this I thought Dreyfuss overacted and hammed his way through it to an often embarrassing degree, but I've warmed up to him in the role, and now I find him rather nuanced and sometimes hysterically funny (especially his rehearsal for RICHARD III). Marsha Mason is now the one who irritates me -- she's just so whiny most of the time, but I guess that is how Simon wrote it. Little Quinn Cummings (ten at the time) steals the movie from both of them in many scenes.I look forward to the Blu.
