Fade In (1973) – Imprint Collection #431

Burt Reynolds stars as Rob, a cowboy who is enlisted to work on a large period Western film (Blue) shooting in his hometown in rural Utah. He falls in with assistant editor Jean (Barbara Loden), and their chemistry quickly spirals into a difficult romantic entanglement.

This powerful drama utilises footage from the filming of Blue, sharing landscapes and brief uncredited appearances from Blue actors, creating a fascinating coupling of two truly unique films.

Though shot in 1967, Fade In was not released until 1973, relegated to a television debut after studio executives chose to shelve the completed film, and director Jud Taylor replaced his name with Alan Smithee.

Special Features and Technical Specs:

  • 1080p High-definition presentation on Blu-ray
  • NEW Audio Commentary by film historians Nat Segaloff and Daniel Kremer
  • Interview with producer Judd Bernard, by writer/director Geoffrey Freedman
  • Aspect Ratio 1.85:1
  • Audio English LPCM 2.0 Mono
  • Optional English HOH Subtitles

Cruel, Usual, Necessary: The Passion of Silvio Narizzano (2024) – Feature Documentary

This is the worldwide debut of this stunning, brand new documentary.

Film historian Daniel Kremer is your tour guide through an obscure, perplexing body of work heretofore ignored and often unfairly shunned. Cruel, Usual, Necessary: The Passion of Silvio Narizzano is an essay documentary of discovery.

“Gripping, spectacularly done, utterly convincing. I am humbled by the lyricism of Kremer’s narration.” – Patrick McGilligan, Author of Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light, and George Cukor: A Double Life

“Quite extraordinary. Daniel Kremer has come to the rescue of several underappreciated auteurs who have fallen between the cracks of film history, and now he sets his gaze on Silvio Narizzano. Kremer connects the dots and weaves together the threads of a fascinatingly disparate and eclectic filmography, and what emerges is a portrait of a unique artist and singular vision that was there all along, waiting for another visionary to discover it.“ – Alonso Duralde, film critic, author of Hollywood Pride (TCM)
