Coogan's Bluff ? (1 Viewer)

[Anthony Neilson]

Does anyone know if we're likely to see COOGAN'S BLUFF on DVD anytime soon ? There's a bare-bones R2 available but I'm holding off on it in case there's a remastered R1 around the corner. It seems odd that such a great Clint Eastwood movie isn't available yet.

I have the region 2 edition. The anamorphic transfer is pretty good. There's some pretty bad grain in an early shot in the film, but on the whole, it's a decent transfer for the price. I, too am surprised that there isn't a region 1 edition yet, as the Play Misty For Me SE was a very good effort and Coogan's Bluff is an essential Siegel-Eastwood movie.

And I believe the only Eastwood film (major film) that hasn't been released in R1... which is Universal if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Gordon McMurphy]

I think you're right, Herb.

That's strange, isn't it? I wonder why Universal are dragging their heels? Maybe they overlooked it. It's a pretty good movie, a bit dated though, but Clint's no-bullshit Coogan is a superb character. Harry Callahan is basically Coogan but without the 'stranger in a strange land' subtext. It's a good movie.

You have me to thank for that. I bought the R2 yesterday.

Oscar,
According to Digitalbits, Coogan's Bluff is coming out on June 1st along with several westerns. Now, the question is whether this release will be in OAR.

Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, Herb. . . I'm happy with my Betamax recording, thanks.
