Directed by
Roger Corman
USA 1967
This film has some uniqueness for instilling such vivid memories, albeit with the use of one powerfully violent scene. Corman's re-creation of the famous Chicago gang massacre of the 20s has a strong cast that seems to go on and on, even in bit parts - Jason Robards, George Segal, Ralph Meeker, Jean Hale, Frank Silvera, Bruce Dern John Agar, Harold Stone, and even Jack Nicholson (better look quick). Judged solely as cinema it is only slightly above average but as a gangster drama it is one of the more eviscerating ever made. Definitely worth seeing. |

NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.
"The St. Valentine's Day Massacre" arrives on
Blu-ray from Indicator out of the UK. This
is a dual-layered, 1080P transfer with a maxed-out bitrate
(37.99 bps). The film quality has a great amount of clarity,
especially noticable in moments where you can see details of
faces. There are a few scenes where the quality dips a bit,
but this is undoubtedly due to the film stock used during
the original production. The image is quite a big step-up
over the DVD edition. Indicator have once again presented us
with a high-quality transfer here. Colin Zavitz *** ON THE DVD: Another strong single-layered anamorphic, progressive DVD image from Fox. Frankly, I don't have any complaints - it's possible that I see some moiring but it is slight if it is there at all. Colors and contrast look very above-average. Audio is quite strong and thee are optional subtitles. A bare bones digital representation of the film with only a trailer as an extra. The price suits both the film and the DVD. Worth a spin or two. |
