Paramount Home Media Distribution is preparing a Blu-ray release of Milos Forman film
Ragtime (1981), starring James Cagney, Brad Dourif, Moses Gunn, Elizabeth McGovern, and Kenneth McMillan. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Description: A kaleidoscope of tales from E.L. Doctorow's eponymous novel evokes life in pre-World War I New York City. A white family find a black baby in their yard and takes on the mother as a maid. A black pianist, Coalhouse Walker Jr. (Howard E. Rollins Jr.), returns for his woman and child after finding success in a Harlem jazz band. Firefighters, dismayed to see a black man own a Model-T Ford, deface it, and Walker demands retribution. The white family becomes involved in Evelyn Nesbit's trial.
