Pickup on South Street (Filmmakers Collection) | R1 |
The Region 1 Criterion Collection edition has a number of excellent Special Features, in addition to the Cinema Cinemas featurette included on the Region 4 release.These are : * Video interview of Sam Fuller by critic Richard Schickel. * Illustrated biographical essay on Fuller. * Complete Fuller poster filmography. * Stills galleries of photos, lobby cards and original paintings. * Trailers for eight Sam Fuller films. * 20 page booklet with excerpts from Fuller's autobiography, article by Martin Scorsese, plus new essay. * English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired. * Optimal image quality : RSDL dual-layer edition. The Region 2 release by Optimum Home Entertainment is virtually barebones, with a few trailers, but not one for Pickup on South Street. The Region 4 release is certainly good value, being part of a four disc/movie set. The single disc is also available separately from Umbrella Entertainment (RRP $19.99).For great admirers of the film, the Region 1 Criterion disc with its extras might be the choice. |
