King: A Filmed Record… Montgomery to Memphis. Better known today for producing a line of movie adaptations of theatrical plays during the 1970’s called the American Film Theater, producer Ely Landau had turned in one of most important productions at the start of the decade. Coming just two years after the assassination of Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Landau – along with associate producer Richard J. Kaplan and directors Sidney Lumet and Joseph L. Mankiewicz – compiled footage of Dr. King’s speeches and the significant events of his activism spanning from 1955 to 1968 and created a filmed record of his life and work from Montgomery, Alabama to Memphis, Tennessee. Originally released in theaters as a “one night only” event, Kino – who had previous released the documentary on DVD – has brought this significant documentary to Blu-ray for the first time.
