Warner Archive has confirmed that it will release on Blu-ray director George Roy Hill's film
The World According to Garp (1982), starring Robin Williams, Mary Beth Hurt, Glenn Close, John Lithgow, and Hume Cronyn. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this summer.
Synopsis: When Robin Williams played T.S.
Garp in The World According to Garp, two totally original American icons met: a leading comic actor of our time and the character whose loopy adventures made John Irving's novel a literary milestone and runaway bestseller. Fans of Williams' dramatic work in
Dead Poets Society and his Oscar winner
Good Will Hunting will also savor his Garp, a sweet-natured writer whose life is a weird minefield of violence, adultery, fatherhood, rampant feminism and eerie coincidence. Glenn Close (her film debut) as Garp's formidable mother and John Lithgow as a transsexual ex-NFL receiver give impressive support, earning Oscar nominations and critics laurels galore. Their collaboration is "one helluva magnificent movie" (Bernard Drew, Gannett Newspapers).
