Já tenho o DVD simplex da Versátil, mas recomendo a quem ainda não tem que espere essa nova edição aportar no Brasil (se acontecer). Da minha parte, acho que o filme vale o double-dip e vou pegar o BD Criterion importado.

Mais detalhes da EE de O Homem Que Matou o Facínora:

 

 

Disc 1:

 

 

 

Feature Commentary with Peter Bogdanovich, including archival recordings of John Ford and Jimmy Stewart

- This is a scene-specific commentary, with Bogdanovich critiquing and

discussing the elements of most scenes. Bogdanovich also includes

various recorded interviews he did of Ford, Stewart and John Wayne.

There’s a bit too much repetition of what we can already see onscreen,

but there are plenty of gems as well. Many of the recordings can also

be heard in the documentary on the 2nd disc.

 

 

 

Selected Scene Commentary by Dan Ford, including archival recordings of John Ford, Jimmy Stewart and Lee Marvin–

(22:44 Total) – Dan Ford, grandson of the great filmmaker, contributes

his own recorded interviews as commentary to several scenes from the

film. This feature has to be viewed separately from the film, in its

own menu. The viewer can either play all the sections or just pick

which ones are desired. As with the Bogdanovich recordings, much of

this material can be heard in the documentary on the 2nd disc.

 

 

 

 

 

Disc 2:

 

 

 

The Size of Legends, The Soul of Myth (50:55,

Anamorphic) – SOME SPOILERS IN THIS FEATURE – WATCH THIS ONLY AFTER

SEEING THE FILM! - This is a 7-part featurette that efficiently covers

the making of the film, from John Ford’s attempts to get backing for it

through the production, to its eventual reception. Various critics and

family members of the principals are interviewed on-camera, buttressed

by recorded interview material with John Ford, Jimmy Stewart and Lee

Marvin. Footage from the film is intercut with stills taken on the set

of John Ford at work with the actors. This is a fairly honest piece of

work – John Ford is not idealized here – he comes across as a fairly

demanding director and a difficult person, both in the discussions

about him, and in his own answers to Bogdanovich’s questions on the

recordings. (At one point, he essentially tells Bogdanovich off,

muttering “How many more questions you got, Pete? I’m getting bored as

hell with this crap. Oh Jesus, no!”) For fans of John Ford or this

film, this is a helpful documentary. It is a welcome addition to the

library of “Film School in a Box” documentaries we have been lucky to

receive over the years with the advent of laserdisc and DVD.

 

 

 

Trailer (2:43, Anamorphic) – The original theatrical

trailer for the film is included here. It shows its age, to be sure,

but it’s interesting to see. Of course, it pushes the

Wayne/Stewart/Ford element right away, but would you expect anything

else from an opportunity like this? As an interesting curiosity, the

trailer also plugs the song written for the film but not used in it.

 

 

 

Galleries (Anamorphic) – Four galleries of stills are

included here, one each for John Ford, Production, Publicity and Lobby

Cards. Many of these are the photos seen in the documentary, but

they’re also fun to see on their own.

Off To See The Wizard -- Again?

10 June 2009 2:36 AM, PDT

 

 

Seventy years after it was first released, MGM's enduring The Wizard of

Oz is receiving yet another facelift. An expensive one. Warner Bros.

Home Video, which owns the rights to the classic, said that it has rescanned

the original Technicolor negatives using 8K resolution -- twice that of the

most recent DVD release. (The Technicolor process required three

black-and-white camera reels of film running simultaneously behind colored

filters. Using a dye-transfer process, the images from each of the reels was

printed with ink -- not developed -- onto celluloid. The new process

combines the three images digitally.) The Blu-ray 70th Anniversary Ultimate

Collector's Edition of the movie, to be released on September 29, will carry

a retail price of $84.99. A DVD version will cost $69.92. The package will

include about four hours of new extras plus a digital copy as well as

souvenirs, including a coffee-table book and a crystal watch.

---

Burbank, Calif. June 9, 2009 – It is difficult to imagine a motion

picture more magical and more wonderful than Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's

wonderful The Wizard of Oz.

Over the last seven decades, the film has indelibly woven itself into

America’s cultural consciousness: Is there anyone who doesn’t

immediately think of the film upon hearing the words, “Dorothy,”

“Toto,” “Emerald City,” “Ruby Slippers” and “Yellow Brick Road” -- or

the lines to the song “Over the Rainbow?”

 

 

 

Now, the colorful characters and unforgettable songs of Oz come alive

as never before when Warner Home Video brings this cinematic treasure

into the digital age with the September 29 Blu-ray release of The

Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition. The

commemorative edition contains nearly 4 hours of all-new and

never-before-available bonus features and is housed in numbered

collectible packaging, and will be available for a limited time only

for $69.92 SRP (DVD) and $84.99 SRP (Blu-ray Hi-Def).

 

 

 

In order to bring all the visual splendor of The Wizard of Oz to the

Hi-Def world of Blu-ray Disc, the film has been entirely remastered,

with each of the original Technicolor camera negatives scanned using 8K

resolution. From this scan, a final ‘capture’ master was created in 4K,

yielding twice the resolution seen in the master utilized for the

film's previous DVD release.

 

 

 

Working in ‘full film Resolution’, extreme care was taken to ensure

that all of the image fidelity contained in the original negatives was

properly captured for this new presentation. The sounds of Oz will come

alive on Blu-ray disc utilizing the full audio spectrum capabilities

available through Dolby TrueHD audio. The net result is one of

unprecedented quality that is sure to make The Wizard of Oz 70th

Anniversary Edition a benchmark in the history of the Blu-ray format.

 

 

 

There will also be a dedicated official site for all Oz-related events and products: Warner Bros..

 

The following components are ALL-NEW and exclusive to this release:

 

 

 

The Dreamer of Oz – which makes its long-awaited home video debut. Also

remastered the occasion, this full-length motion picture was an NBC-TV

special event in 1990 and thrilled critics and audiences as it told the

back story of author L. Frank Baum, "the Royal Historian of Oz.” John

Ritter shines in the title role -- the man who defied all odds to

create the famous characters and stories. Annette O'Toole beautifully

co-stars as his supportive wife, with Rue McClanahan as his challenging

witch of a mother-in-law.

 

 

 

Victor Fleming, Master Craftsman -- a new feature-length documentary

produced specifically for this release about the Hollywood director

who, in the same year, miraculously brought both Oz and Gone With the

Wind to the screen.

 

 

 

Hollywood Celebrates It’s Biggest Little Stars-- a new featurette stars

seven of the original "Munchkins of Oz" and tells the saga of the long

journey, culminating in them receiving their own 2007 Star on the

Hollywood Walk of Fame.

 

 

 

The Magic Cloak of Oz -- the first release of the complete 1914 silent

film, including lost footage never before included in a home video

presentation of this feature (produced by Baum himself).

 

 

 

The Patchwork Girl of Oz -- another 1914 Baum-produced, feature-length silent film, new to Warner Home Video.

 

 

 

The Wizard of Oz Sing-Along Track -- here making its home entertainment debut.

 

 

 

Reproductions of Archival Material -- Extraordinary renderings of the

original 1939 Oz campaign, exploitation, and press books. These

materials constitute a Hollywood "holy grail" for Oz, Garland, and

motion picture fans alike and, for decades, have been among the most

sought-after and impossible-to-find collectibles.

 

 

 

Behind The Curtain -- a 52-page miniature coffee-table book, assembled

by pre-eminent Oz historian John Fricke. Encompassing much previously

unpublished material, the deluxe volume includes behind-the-scenes Oz

photographs, studio memos, and script pages for abandoned scenes and

musical numbers.

 

 

 

Exclusive Wizard of Oz Watch -- A collectible and numbered 70th

Anniversary watch, incorporating art from the film and enhanced with

genuine crystals. Available nowhere else, this beautiful timepiece was

created specially for this DVD edition.

 

 

 

And for the Blu-Ray Ultimate Collector’s Edition, the original extended

version of “If I Only Had a Brain” performed by Ray Bolger has been

remastered in hi-definition especially for this release.

 

 

 

About the Movie

 

 

 

Adapted from L. Frank Baum’s timeless children’s tale about a Kansas

girl’s journey over the rainbow, The Wizard of Oz opened at Grauman’s

Chinese Theater on August 15, 1939. The film was directed by Victor

Fleming (who that same year directed Gone With the Wind), produced by

Mervyn LeRoy, and scored by Herbert Stothart, with music and lyrics by

Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg. Ray Bolger appeared as the Scarecrow;

Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion, Jack Haley as the Tin Woodman. Frank

Morgan was seen in six different roles, including that of the

"wonderful Wizard" himself. Dorothy was portrayed by a 4'11" sixteen

year old girl who quickly earned her reputation as “the world’s

greatest entertainer”-- the incomparable Judy Garland.

 

 

 

The Wizard of Oz received five Academy Award nominations, including

Best Picture, and captured two Oscars® -- Best Song (“Over the

Rainbow”) and Best Original Score -- plus a special award for

Outstanding Juvenile Performance by Judy Garland. The film was an

overwhelmingly popular and critical success upon its initial release

and repeated its ability to captivate audiences when M-G-M reissued the

film in 1949 and 1955. The film made a new kind of history with its

network television premiere in 1956 on CBS. Nearly 45 million people

tuned in for this initial telecast, marking the beginning of an annual

tradition. Ever since, The Wizard of Oz has been shown virtually

annually on network (and then cable) television; its magical story and

heartfelt performances have enabled it to grow from a perennial classic

to its current status as a treasured icon of popular culture.
