I saw this years ago and if you like WW2 movies then this is for you. I am fairly certain that this film has had no BD release anywhere and same maybe for DVD.

Not true, I have the French blu ray. Picture looks excellent so I won't upgrade but for those that don't have it, this should be a treat.

Does this mean a deal with Lionsgate, or some other entity with rights?

DEATH MACHINE was released theatrically by Trimark. Doesn't that mean Columbia/Sony?

That's TriStar with Sony

Trimark/Vidmark is Lionsgate. This easily could have been a Vestron Video Collector’s Series release.

Thanks for update....

They've already announced a bunch of films from their Lionsgate deal like The Big Easy, Bug, and Ken Russell's Whore.

HUSTLE (1975)
• Brand New HD Master – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative
• NEW Audio Commentary by Film Critics Alain Silver and James Ursini, Authors of WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ROBERT ALDRICH?: HIS LIFE AND HIS FILMS
• Theatrical Trailer
• 8 TV Spots
• Limited Edition O-Card Slipcase
• Optional English Subtitles

Color 120 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated R
Jaded, cynical, edgy. The iconic Burt Reynolds (Shamus, Heat) is Lt. Phil Gaines, a case-hardened Los Angeles detective who finds himself drawn into a dark, complex puzzle that involves the death of a teenaged girl. Complicating his investigation is his sizzling relationship with an icy hooker, played by cinema goddess Catherine Deneuve (Belle de Jour, Mississippi Mermaid), who has a dangerous connection to the case—one of her high-powered clients is a main suspect. Moreover, the victim’s unstable father blurs the focus of Gaines’ investigation even further by embarking on his own erratic, inept sleuthing. Ben Johnson, Paul Winfield, Eileen Brennan, Eddie Albert, Ernest Borgnine and Jack Carter also star in a suspenseful, gritty tale of urban corruption and murder directed by the legendary Robert Aldrich (The Dirty Dozen, The Longest Yard).

 

[borisfw]

Always in for more Burt. Also a pretty good film.

 

[Dave Lawrence]

I agree. More Burt on Blu is always welcome, and I’m very happy to see this film get a Kino release.

THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955)
• Brand New HDR/Dolby Vision Master – 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative (4KUHD)
• NEW Audio Commentary by Novelist and Critic Tim Lucas (4KUHD)
• Isolated Music and Effects Soundtrack (4KUHD)
• LOVE AND HATE: Filmmaker Ernest Dickerson on The Night of the Hunter (Blu-ray)
• LITTLE LAMBS: Actress Kathy Garver on The Night of the Hunter (Blu-ray)
• HING, HANG, HUNG: Artist Joe Coleman on The Night of the Hunter (Blu-ray)
• Theatrical Trailer (Blu-ray)
• Limited Edition O-Card Slipcase
• Triple-Layered UHD100 Disc
• Optional English Subtitles

B&W 93 Minutes 1.85:1 Not Rated
A tall, handsome “preacher”—his knuckles eerily tattooed with “love” and “hate”—roams the countryside, spreading the gospel…and leaving a trail of murdered women in his wake. To Reverend Harry Powell, the work of the Lord has more to do with condemning souls than saving them, especially when his own interests are involved. Now his sights are set on $10,000—and two little children are the only ones who know where it is. “Chill…dren!” the preacher croons to the terrified boy and girl hiding in the cold, dark cellar…innocent young lambs who refuse to be led astray. The legendary, lone directorial effort of actor Charles Laughton (Witness for the Prosecution), The Night of the Hunter stars Robert Mitchum (Out of the Past) in the most daring and critically acclaimed performance of his career, opposite the equally spellbinding Shelley Winters (He Ran All the Way) and Lillian Gish (Duel in the Sun). Ominous and hauntingly suspenseful, this extraordinary noir classic remains “one of the most frightening movies ever made” (Pauline Kael) and “one of the greatest of all American films” (Roger Ebert).

One of my 10 all-time favorite movies! The first time I watched this movie over 50 years ago, I was about the same age as the boy in the movie and it scared the crap out of me. Just a great film that flopped at the box office. However, TV showings along with new reviewers and critics took a look at this movie, and discovered its greatness.

I can recall seeing both Hustle and The Longest Yard as a double feature at The Paramount Theater in Indiana.

That's a preorder for me! I do like how there's some new extras, so there's a reason to also keep the Criterion Blu.

I agree, this was a marvelously acted film. However, I have trouble rewatching it, due to seeing children in danger. Just can’t find enjoyment from viewing real-world situations like that.
But Mitch is truly amazing in the role. One of the 20th century’s best actors!

 

[willyTass]

he was great in The Friends Of Eddie Coyle
