Buy John Cassavetes: Five Films - Criterion Collection (DVD)

Considered by many to be the father of independent film, John Cassavetes left behind a body of work which has become essential viewing for anyone interested in the art of narrative filmmaking. Peopled with average people, down-and-out types, and low-level criminals, his humanist vision is never flashy and always compassionate. This eight disc set collects five of these films, along with Charles Kiselyak's definitive documentary on Cassavetes, A CONSTANT FORGE (2000). SHADOWS (1959), FACES (1968), A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE (1974), THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE (1978), and OPENING NIGHT (1977), are all presented here in definitive versions, from new transfers.

Chandler's first novel introduced private detective Philip Marlowe, and THE BIG SLEEP set the standard for private detective movies. Down-at-the-heels private eye Marlowe gets the assignment to clean up after the daughters of a dying millionaire, but dead people have a nasty habit of trailing in their wake. The famously tortuous story line (Hawks supposedly asked Chandler to clarify a plot point about the murder of the family chauffeur; the novelist hadn't a clue as to who did the deed) seems beside the point when Bogart and Bacall are onscreen. The final release was recut to include more of their scenes together. A must! Remade in 1978.DVD Features:(Notes: Contains both the original theatrical release and the 116 minute 1944 pre-release version.)Region 1Keep CasePan& Scan - 1.33Dual Side - Single LayerAudio: Dolby Digital Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Trailers - 1.Theatrical Trailer Documentary - THE BIG SLEEP COMPARISONS 1945/1946 (Featuring Robert Gitt of UCLA analyzing scene differences between versions.)Interactive Features: Interactive Menus Scene AccessText/Photo Galleries: Production Notes
