'The Longest Yard,' arguably the best sports dramedy ever brought to the screen, finally debuts in the 4K format to showcase director Robert Aldrich's 1974, testosterone-packed classic.
Arguably the best sports dramedy ever brought to the screen finally debuts in the 4K format to showcase director Robert Aldrich’s 1974, testosterone-packed classicStarring Burt Reynolds as disgraced former pro football quarterback Paul Crewe, the story focused on the arrogant athlete breaking up with his sugar mama, going on an alcohol-fueled police chase, beating up cops and getting sentenced to hard time in a Southern Florida prison.
Crewe assembles a team of misfits and eventually turns them into a mean machine to give the warden more than he bargained for. Amply supporting Reynolds’ often hilarious performance is a pop culture-tinged cast that included Michael Conrad as Crewe’s appointed coach and fellow inmate Nate Scarboro; James Hampton as his equipment manager caretaker Farrell; Richard Kiel as his middle linebacker Samson; and Broadway star Bernadette Peters as Hazen’s secretary Miss Toot.
Worthy of repeat viewings is the final play of the game revealed in slow motion that looks as great as any current high definition television broadcast.Kino Lorber pays homage to the movie starting with a pair of optional commentary tracks found on both the 4K and Blu-ray discs. Next, and previously released in a special 2005 DVD “lockdown” edition, an infinitely entertaining commentary with Reynolds and writer/producer Albert S. Ruddy. The pair really have a good time discussing a movie that Mr. Ruddy wrote and said was never meant to be a comedy.
