WHAT: WHEN: STUDIO: PRICE:

On the Waterfront (Blu-Ray) February 19th Criterion Retail: $49.95, Our: $39.99

---

Criterion has announced a February 19th release date for On the Waterfront (1954) on standard DVD & Blu-Ray.

The Elia Kazan film, starring Marlon Brando with an all-star cast of Lee J. Cobb, Eva Marie Saint, Karl Malden and Rod Steiger, and winner of eight Oscars, was previously released by Sony. In this release, Criterion even outdoes themselves by adding a plethora of bonus features that need 3-DVD's and 2-Blu's respectively to contain them. Details below.



Marlon Brando gives the performance of his career as the tough prizefighter-turned-longshoreman Terry Malloy in this masterpiece of urban poetry, a raggedly emotional tale of individual failure and institutional corruption.

On the Waterfront charts Terry’s deepening moral crisis as he must choose whether to remain loyal to the mob-connected union boss Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb) and Johnny’s right-hand man, Terry’s brother, Charley (Rod Steiger), as the authorities close in on them.

Driven by the vivid, naturalistic direction of Elia Kazan and savory, streetwise dialogue by Budd Schulberg, On the Waterfront was an instant sensation, winning eight Oscars, including for best picture, director, actor, supporting actress (Eva Marie Saint), and screenplay.

BONUS FEATURES:

• Commentary featuring authors Richard Schickel and Jeff Young
• Conversation between filmmaker Martin Scorsese and critic Kent Jones
• Elia Kazan: Outsider (1982), an hour-long documentary
• New documentary on the making of the film, featuring interviews with scholar Leo Braudy, critic David Thomson, and others
• New interview with actress Eva Marie Saint
• Interview with director Elia Kazan from 2001
• Contender, a 2001 documentary on the film’s most famous scene
• Alternate presentations of the restoration in two additional aspect ratios: 1.85:1 (widescreen) and 1.33:1 (full-screen)
• New interview with longshoreman Thomas Hanley, an actor in the film
• New interview with author James T. Fisher (On the Irish Waterfront) about the real-life people and places behind the film
• Visual essay on Leonard Bernstein’s score
• Visual essay on the aspect ratio
• Trailer
• PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Michael Almereyda and reprints of Kazan’s 1952 ad in the New York Times defending his testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee, one of the 1948 New York Sun articles by Malcolm Johnson on which the film was based, and a 1953 Commonweal piece by screenwriter Budd Schulber

KAZAN AT FOX: 8 New to Blu-Ray Including A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Exclusive to their site (FoxConnect), 20th Century Fox has released two Elia Kazan sets on Blu-Ray -- but we have them for rent! They are:

Kazan at Fox, Vol. 1 (Blu-Ray)

• Boomerang
• Gentleman's Agreement
• Pinky
• Panic in the Streets

Kazan at Fox, Vol. 2 (Blu-Ray)

• A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
  
• Viva Zapata!
• Man on a Tightrope
• Wild River

Volume 1 consists of titles that were released before as singles on standard DVD. Most of the bonus features carry over and Panic has two new ones.

Volume 2 titles were released on standard DVD in the 18-disc Elia Kazan Collection, but were never released as singles (and are not likely to be soon). Details below.



Hailed as one of the most acclaimed and influential directors of all time, Elia Kazan remains a true Hollywood icon. This collection presents four of his finest films, available for the first time on Blu-Ray with authentic high-quality picture and sound.

Boomerang (1947)
Director Elia Kazan won critical acclaim for this vividly portrayed, suspenseful 1947 true crime drama set in Connecticut, where the events actually happened. When a beloved priest is gunned down, the local police chief (Lee J. Cobb) is under enormous pressure to find his murderer, and, based only on vague descriptions, he undertakes a massive manhunt, eventually arriving at both a suspect (Arthur Kennedy) and a confession.

But the state’s attorney (Dana Andrews) is determined to convict only if it’s right to do so. Also starring Jane Wyatt, Cara Williams, Sam Levene, Ed Begley and Karl Malden, Boomerang is gripping noir entertainment from start to finish.

BONUS FEATURES:

• Audio Commentary by film historians Alain Silver and Jame Ursini

Gentleman's Agreement (1947)
Director Elia Kazan and producer Darryl F. Zanuck caused a sensation with "the most spellbinding story ever put on celluloid" (Hollywood Reporter), which won three Academy Awards including Best Picture. One of the first films to directly tackle racial prejudice, this acclaimed adaptation of Laura Z. Hobson's bestseller stars Gregory Peck in an Oscar nominated role as a journalist assigned to write a series on anti-Semitism.

Searching for an angle, he decides to pose as a Jew - and soon discovers what it is to be a victim of religious intolerance. Dorothy McGuire, John Garfield, Dean Stockwell and June Havoc also star in this riveting World War II classic.

BONUS FEATURES:

• Audio Commentary by Celeste Holm, June Havoc and Film Critic Richard Schickel
• AMC Backstory Episode: Gentleman's Agreement
• Fox Movietone Newsreels

Pinky (1949)
Pinky, a young nurse (Jeanne Crain), returns to her small southern hometown, but the trip is bittersweet one: Educated in the North, Pinky is engaged to a doctor who doesn't know that she is part black. Her grandmother (Ethel Waters) is a proud black woman who is less than happy to learn that Pinky's fiancee is white. Then, Pinky's friendship with a southern aristocrat, Miss Em (Ethel Barrymore), is cause for more scandal - and a lawsuit - when she dies and leaves her house to Pinky.

Shunned by both blacks and whites, Pinky's choices make her the unfortunate target of bigotry in this compelling classic. This deeply moving drama features three indelible Oscar-nominated performances from Jeanne Crain, Ethel Barrymore and Ethel Waters.

BONUS FEATURES:

• Audio Commentary by film historian Kenneth Geist

Panic in the Streets (1950)
In this suspenseful melodrama, a bullet-ridden corpse turns up in the water off the New Orleans docks. To the police, he's a John Doe...until a public health doctor (Richard Widmark) discovers he carries a virulent strain of bubonic plague. Hundreds of officers are mobilized to track down the killers and all who had contact with the dead man in a desperate race against the clock before the highly contagious disease spreads far beyond the port area and puts the entire country in peril.

BONUS FEATURES:

• Audio Commentary by authors and historians James Ursini and Alain Silver
• Jack Palance: From Grit to Grace
  
• Richard Widmark: Strength of Characters

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945)
This poignant and heartwarming story, Elia Kazan's directorial debut, is based on the best-selling novel about life in Brooklyn's Irish tenements at the turn of the twentieth century.

BONUS FEATURES:

• Commentary by Film Historian Richard Schickel with Elia Kazan, Ted Donaldson and Norman Lloyd
• The Making of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
• An Appreciation of Dorothy McGuire
• Fox Movietone News Segments

The legendary Fredric March plays Karel Cernik, who courageously leads his traveling circus in a desperate run for the German border to escape from 1950's communist Czechoslovakia.

NO BONUS FEATURES

Wild River (1960)
Montgomery Clift is a government agent who must evacuate lands to make way for a new dam. When an elderly woman refuses to leave, Clift falls for her granddaughter (Lee Remick).

BONUS FEATURE:
