Hollywood’s Greatest Screen Legends set might be cool in theory but these are episodes of something called “Hollywood Remembers” from 2000 and these were not professionally produced though you can at least see the passion as I doubt this was some money ploy.
This classic film from perennial filmmaker Otto Preminger is a haunting tale filled with amazing performances from its core cast headed by the great Laurence Olivier while Carol Lynley is mesmerizing in the starring role. The Blu-ray released by Twilight Time is light on features but the video and audio transfers are both well done and allow this nearly 40-year-old, obscure mystery/thriller to look better than ever.
Twilight Time has another wonderful Blu-ray release on their hands with a fantastic restoration for both the video (especially amazing) and audio that any fan of Khartoum will hopefully appreciate. The bonus materials are a bit limited though the film historian audio commentary track is well worth a listen whether or not you like the movie as it’s absolutely fascinating.
Warner Brothers recently announced a few catalog titles, some from their line bought from Paramount, for September releases. I’ve put up the artwork for these as well as features included for one of the titles (Warner has not provided details on the others, however).
