Chicago Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
The SteelBook's front panel features familiar Chicago artwork with the three main characters -- left to right Velma, Billy, and Roxie -- center,
with the two ladies holding guns behind their backs. The girls are also standing back to the camera but with heads turned, facing forward, while Billy
is
standing forward. A red dazzling background appears behind them with a city skyline in silhouette appearing at the bottom. The rear panel is
similarly designed but the characters are replaced with bold yellow skewered text: "Razzle Dazzle 'Em." Some studio logos also appear at the bottom
in yellow. The spine features the film's title center. A Paramount logo appears at the top and a Miramax logo at the bottom, both in yellow.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The lone Blu-ray disc is situated on the right on a central hub. The inner
print
is a two-panel spread that features two images, one of Velma Kelly, left, against a blue background, and Roxie Hart, right, against a red backdrop.
Both
are in costume, dancing, with an arm raised.

Chicago Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation
A truly remarkable SteelBook this is not, but it satisfies. The disc is identical to the old Lionsgate release so there's no reason to upgrade unless one is
just completely in love with the film or this SteelBook design.
