I watched the longer 118 min cut of A MINUTE TO PRAY, A SECOND TO DIE today via the German BD release from Colosseo Film. Whilst not exactly a revelation in comparison with the 98 min US cut, the longer cut is certainly a more 'rounded' film (in my view, at least), and the downbeat ending is much more in keeping with the material and philosophy of the picture - ultimately validating the marshall's (Arthur Kennedy) viewpoint, to some extent. The 'problem' with this film is arguably Alex Cord's performance, as he's very 'flat' in the leading role and the character of Clay comes off as a bit of an unfocused, whiny brat; but Kennedy and Robert Ryan give the film a little more 'life' when they appear in the picture.'You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like.

Is the longer cut in HD? Does this release have the other version on it as well? Saw this film a while back, I watched the longer cut via a dvdr. Can't say I found it very memorable but will certainly add this blu ray to my collection.Originally posted by Paul L View Post

The longer cut is indeed in HD, Bogart, though seems to be a patchwork quilt of sources - presumably using as its basis the same source as the US Kino BD release of the shorter cut and cutting into it the material unique to the longer cut, which seems (owing to the sharper tones and coarser grain structure) to be taken from a scan of a 35mm print. It's a solid presentation. The films is presented with English, German and Italian audio options, and German and Italian optional subtitles.Originally posted by Bogart View Post
The shorter cut is included in the set on a DVD. I've not checked this disc out yet because I've seen the shorter cut many times before, so can't at this juncture attest to the audio options available for the presentation of the shorter edit. I'll check the disc tomorrow and get back to you, if you like.
I recently bought the Colosseo Films release of BLACK JACK too. I will be interested in watching that one, as I put together my own composite version of that film a few years back and am curious to see if the Colosseo Films release is indeed completely uncut. (It most likely is, to be fair.)'You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow'

I really like this movie but agree about Alex Cord coming off rather flat. The whole movie has a bizarre kind of tone to it that I really like. I only caught up with it with the recent-ish Kino dvd. The original grim ending is the more natural fit. It makes a good double feature with THE MAN CALLED NOON. They both cast American stars as characters with a debilitating condition."When I die, I hope to go to Accra"Comment

Wow... I actually received my pre-ordered copy of Arrow's DJANGO from Amazon -- just as the "delay" (now permanent) was announced.Originally posted by Derrick King View Post

That's a shame as the DJANGO steelbook is a thing of beauty that you can't really appreciate until its in your hands. The flat finish and the way the gun shimmers in the light is amazing. Before this, I didn't even like steelbooks.Comment

This looks like it has the potential to be pretty interesting. Unfortunately the only physical media release thus far is not English friendly.

Looks like Wild East has released a BD of THE PRICE OF POWER. According to a post at the BD Forums the quality is decent but not pristine.
