Bring back the Age of Aquarius! Olive Films returns with the company’s best Signature Edition ever. The show is an excellent choice for a special edition, as seen by the simply terrific interviews in its battery of added value featurettes. Top creative contributors have been tapped for some great memories. Rather than filming a simple adaptation, Milos Forman reinterprets the hit show, allowing Twyla Tharp’s choreographic genius to soak into most every scene — the result is a marvelous melding of theatrical and cinematic effects.

The advertising promised a surfeit of sleaze -- but the film is a superior thriller about a real-life, low-rent serial killers from back in the late 1940s. Tony Lo Bianco and the great Shirley Stoler are Ray and Martha, mixed-up lovers running a Merry Widow racket through the personals ads in romance magazines. Leonard Kastle's film is dramatically and psychologically sound, while the disc extras detail the true crime story, which is far, far, sleazier.

A bonafide musical genius, Raymond Scott was something of an overnight success with his quintet back in the ’40s. And while many out there might not recognize the name today, if you’ve ever watched any of the classic Warner Bros Looney Tunes cartoons you know the music: jazzy, swinging and slightly off-kilter.
Scott also pioneered some of the earliest electronic music — not just composing it, but actually inventing and building the gadgets to do it. But despite his brilliant trailblazing and sizeable body of work, Scott spent the later years of his life poor and in relative obscurity. In the past few decades, however, his music has been re-discovered, praised, covered, and sampled by artists including the Kronos Quartet, Gorillaz, They Might Be Giants, and Soul Coughing just to name a few.
