Director Spotlight: Castle Keep / Bobby Deerfield Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman May 19, 2024

Mill Creek has released a two-film, one-disc collection celebrating the work of Director Sydney Pollack. The collection includes the 1969 film 'Castle Keep,' starring Burt Lancaster; and the 1977 film 'Bobby Deerfield,' starring Al Pacino. There are no supplements on the disc. Both feature troubled video and mediocre, at best, audio. At time of writing, this bundle is the only way to own either film on Blu-ray.

Director Spotlight: Castle Keep / Bobby Deerfield Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Mill Creek has bundled a couple of flawed, but still interesting and watchable, films in this collection. Sadly, the Blu-ray presentations are far from ideal, offering struggling video and audio paired with no extras. Recommended only for fans who are desperate to own one or both of these films on Blu-ray; most will be best served by hanging onto older DVD editions and hoping for a better release down the line.
