(aka 'Lies or "A Night in SoHo")

directed by Martin Scorsese
USA 1985

I first saw this in a theatre with only about half a dozen people filling the seats. I loved the film and the fact that hardly anyone was there made it all more... clandestine. Director Scorsese was able to impart some cinematic charm on a fairly simple story - a young lonesome man, looking for companionship... and after it does not meet his expectations, he just wants to return home. That's all. Camera techniques that are rife with innovation yet restrained to the confines of the tale. This is the cornerstone of this films appeal for me. It all works so well. Along with "Raging Bull", I suspect this is my favorite Scorsese film. out of

Comments:	This is a fine disc. Excellent image quality - no visible digital manipulation at all. Good contrast, colors, subtitles and sharpness. the audio is perhaps its Achilles heel - no 5.1 mix, but the original audio has some fluctuations - I would rate it only as acceptable. I can see how this easy could have become a quick release for Warner, while still garnering adequate sales from its cult following. But, they seem to have done it proud - commentary, featurette and the work to produce a sterling image. I hope its not just my love of the film talking but out of Gary W. Tooze
