Older movies get new life on DVD
"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: The Ultimate Collector's Edition" (Fox, 1969, PG, $26.98, two discs). This film is a masterpiece, of course, blending humor, adventure and romance perfectly in a fictionalized look at the famous outlaws. Robert Redford became a major star and was teamed for the first time with Paul Newman. Utah locations are well used. Newman, Redford and Katharine Ross are interviewed in the bonus features. Favorite line: "Who are those guys?"
Extras: Widescreen, audio commentaries (from the previous disc, with director George Roy Hill and others; a new commentary by screenwriter William Goldman), deleted scene, featurettes, new interviews, trailers, text production notes, language and subtitle options (English, Spanish, French), chapters.
Extras: Full frame, making-of featurette, Walt Disney's original TV introduction, cartoons: "Elmer Elephant" and "The Flying Mouse," children's featurettes, storybook, sing-alongs, art gallery, language options (English, French, Spanish), optional English subtitles, chapters.
"I Wake Up Screaming" (Fox, 1941, not rated, b/w, $14.98). When a sleazy promoter (Victor Mature) is the prime suspect in the murder of a client (Carole Landis), he enlists her sister (Betty Grable) to help clear his name. Terrifically tense film noir thriller, right down to the twist ending. Great cast, including Grable in atypical role, and little-known character actor Laird Cregar as a menacing cop.
Extras: Full frame, audio commentary, deleted scene (Grable's only song, "Daddy"), poster/photo galleries, trailer, subtitle options (English, Spanish), chapters. (DVD debut.)
