Blu-ray Reviews of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: Details of new Blu-ray DVD due out on May 13th, 2008, the good and the not-so-good news
Summary: 4 Stars
The new Blu-ray release of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid will reportedly carry over only some of the special features of the 2006 SD Collector's Edition. According to the studio press release it will include the following:
-- audio commentary by director George Roy Hill, associate producer Robert Crawford, cinematographer Conrad Hall, and lyricist Hal David
-- audio commentary by screenwriter William Goldman
-- "All of What Follows is True: The Making of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (35:27)
-- "The Wild Bunch: The True Tale of Butch & Sundance" (25:11)
-- deleted scenes
-- theatrical trailers
That leaves out the 1994 documentary "The Making of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (42:09), "History Through the Lens: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: Outlaws Out of Time" (90:16), 1994 interviews with Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katherine Ross, writer William Goldman, and composer Burt Bacharach (49:42), and some smaller bits.
The new release apparently will have no new special features.
A Blu-ray edition of this film has been out for a while outside the US, very likely in the same transfer that will be on this US release. The video quality is reportedly about as good as can be expected, better than the SD release, particularly in color depth, but also showing more effectively the grain that was part of the filming process used in some scenes designed to look antique, perhaps more effectively than is desirable in some cases. (Most of this comes from Gary Tooze's review of the Japanese Blu-ray release at dvdbeaver.)
Technical specs: 2.35:1 Widescreen Transfer (1080p/AVC), English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1, subtitles in English, Cantonese, Korean, and Spanish.
The movie is of course a classic, a lighthearted look at a legend with two now-legendary actors who were then still on their way up. A combination of unconventional Western and buddy flick, it works well as drama and at least as well as comedy. The little music video in the middle with "Raindrops Are Falling on My Head" is very dated and stands out like a sore thumb, but it's still fun. Very few people don't enjoy this movie.
Assuming the studio press release is accurate, and it does fit the recent practices of Fox, most die-hard fans will probably want to hold on to their Collector's Editions even if they upgrade to Blu-ray. I'm personally disappointed that some of the old features already easily available to Fox won't be included, and subtract one star (one half star if I could). But it's likely to be a fine release otherwise.
If you don't have this on DVD, you might want to weigh the extensive, even exhausting special features from the 2006 SD Collector's Edition against the more limited but still ample features on the Blu-ray, along with the somewhat better image.
