Paramount's been slow to send this title, but I've been told it'll go out to me on Monday. That means I won't have it until post-street, but apparently it really IS coming out 8/14. Anyway, they say they've had some delays getting screeners, so that's probably why no one's reviewed it yet...

I managed to pick up copy of this at my local retailer. I believe they put it out early. The transfer is great! Also are some extras like a George Stevens jr. commentary, a documentary, and a section where different directors/producers/etc. comment on Mr. Stevens. If you love this movie then don't hesitate to buy it!
I'm very pleased to have this disc added to my collection.

I think this is one of the best, most overlooked films on the AFI Top 100 List. Just a great movie with great performances. I was quite suprised at how much I liked it. You can see the similarities to films like Dead Man Walking and Dancer in the Dark.

I was very excited when I found out that this was being released. A wonderful but under appreciated film. It is on my long list of movies to buy. Of course it is towards the top of this list.

Thanks everyone. I do plan on buying this for sure.

Does this movie remind anyone else of "The Talented Mr. Ripley"?


Possible Spoilers:

I saw "A Place in the Sun" for the first time earlier this year and I immediately saw a lot of parallels to Ripley: a poor man trying to fit in to rich society, a daylight murder in a sail boat, and also with both films I found myself hoping the murderer wouldn't be caught. I mean who wouldn't want to be married to Elizabeth Taylor instead of stuck with Shelley Winters?
