On TCM's schedule for the summer


On Bastille Day.

It HAS to be a better print that than atrocious piece of crap transfer on the Alpha DVD.

It's the best transfer available. Not only better than the Alpha, but even better than the censored VCI print. It's the transfer that Sony's been sitting on for the past decade. Unfortunately, the release of the deeply flawed VCI DVD seems to have forced them to put it on the backburner, and with the DVD bubble popped, who knows when we'll ever see it on DVD or (let us be so lucky) Blu-Ray.

However, if it ever pops up on TCM, make certain to catch it. It's a beauty.

Having just seen it this afternoon I agree!

Finally checking it out on IMdB I see the director is Anthony Mann and the reason why it is so exciting and fast paced becomes clear.

It really rushes along with many plot twists and I highly recommend it









Come on lads, bags of swank!
