Robert Ryan, meet Smith Ohlrig!!!, 24 October 2004
Author: Frank Jarlett from Philadelphia

Having researched this film in depth, I found a Region 2 copy on Amazon.Fr. What a find!! The DVD includes the original trailer, which is very clear and well defined. There is also a nice extra about the director, which I haven't yet see in its entirety, but I can tell you that a very young Peter Ustinov is in it, a gallery of stills, and an opening sequence before you actually play the film that features the music score and it is shown embellished in red. The film itself is much clearer than the VHS, except for a few frames that are unexplainedly grainy. The DVD jacket itself is very classy, in a beautiful gatefold style with a picture of Ryan as Ohlrig lying on the floor with Barbara Bel Geddes standing over him. Inside of the DVD jacket is a nice little pamphlet (in French) and pictures of Bel Geddes and Curt Bois at the piano, and the scene in Ohlrig's viewing room when he says to Bel Geddes, "Now I know why they install love seats in movie balconies, but please remember Leonora that you're not sitting there now." It's a classic line. By the way, the film reaches brilliance in Ryan's performance alone.
