R1 DVD coming April 5, 2011


Sony is at last releasing The Heroes of Telemark on DVD in the U.S. on April 5, 2011. It's long been available on Region 2 DVD but somehow never made it onto R1 before now. No information at present about any extras, or lack of same. But the price is a great $14.95, and of course less from most sites.

A couple of years ago an expedition located the wreck of the real ferry sunk in the fjord by Norwegian saboteurs, as depicted in this film, its cargo of heavy water mostly still intact. An interesting coda to the movie.

I got me my DVD copy from one of our local Los Angeles County K-Marts just the other day when I was digging through the pile of cheap/bargain bin grab-bag clearance titles hunting for "nuggets" and low & behold I nabbed mine for $8.99 sweet deal too! Excellent and "reely" good Letterbox picture & sound quality overall but it's another "bare bones" disk with no bonus material or even a trailer! The last time I saw this good ol movie was when I was a kid and it brings back memories of weekend afternoon or the late-late shows on TV.
