“There was a crooked man…” is a film born out of the studio’s attempts to market edgier entertainment after the success of films like “Easy Rider.” Aside from some small missteps, it is a lot of fun.
“The Final Countdown” is an enjoyable science fiction film that benefits from a remarkable cast and some truly fantastic visual moments. Fans of “The Twilight Zone” should take note of the film. Blue Underground’s UHD release is visually stunning for the most part and features an excellent Atmos track.
The Bad and the Beautiful is an uncommonly thoughtful melodrama with solid performances by Kirk Douglas and Lana Turner. WB Archive have provided a beautiful transfer.
