If you have High Def t.v. you should have the channel INHD. This movie is showing on this channel for the month of December.

Yes! I cannot wait to buy this DVD. I am really interested to hear Lumet's audio commentary too.

Prince of the City (2-Disc Special Edition) (1981)
“The first thing a cop learns is that he can’t trust nobody but his partners,” detective Danny Ciello tells an assistant D.A. “I sleep with my wife but I live with my partners. I will never give them up.” From Robert Daley’s riveting book about New York City police corruption investigations, director/co-writer Sidney Lumet’s film portrays a squad that pays a terrible price when one in its ranks does just that. Treat Williams (as Ciello, inspired by real-life undercover narcotics cop Robert Leuci) leads a terrific ensemble cast which includes Jerry Orbach, Bob Balaban and Lindsay Crouse in a standout performance as Leuci’s wife. This gripping film, which features 130 locations and 126 speaking parts, won Lumet a New York Film Critics Best Director Award and an Oscar nomination (with Jay Presson Allen) for the screenplay.

Is this region 2???!!!

reply

It's region 1. A barebone region 2 release is already available in Germany.

However, Warner is known to release multiregion discs in many circumstances. Most of their R1 discs can also play on R2 drives (as long as the movie doesn't belong to the RKO film catalog or stuff like that).

Thanks
