A flashback sequence shrouded in dreamlike darkness, jolting edits, radical sound design, Sol Kaplan's amazing score, car chases that feel like you're riding the bumper, striking close-ups and shocking angles, and a stunning 10-minute carnival climax.. this is an artful noir that deserves more recognition." - Martin Teller Special Features & Technical Specs: 1080p High-definition presentation on Blu-ray Introduction by Martin Scorsese Behind the Scenes Photos & Publicity Stills Theatrical Trailer More Special Features TBC Audio LPCM 2.0 Mono Original Aspect Ratio 1.85:1 Optional English Subtitles 13 West Street (1962) - Imprint Collection #265 Worldwide first on Blu-ray!
