The Running Man (1963) – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

After the release of Our Man in Havana (1959), director Carol Reed was facing a personal crossroads in his career; he was fired from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s big budget remake of Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) following a quarrel with Marlon Brando and was seemingly on the outs with Hollywood. However, he did manage to land on his feet with The Running Man – no relation to the Arnold Schwarzenegger action film from 1987 – a return to the thriller genre which he made his greatest impact with The Third Man (1949). Long unavailable on home video, Arrow Video – through the Academy line – gives the movie its long overdue debut on home video.

Thank you for this review. I didn't much like The Running Man when it first came out and I was still in my teens. Your review has made me want to watch it again. I may well buy this disc.
