Next month, Twilight Time will bring Pal Joey to Blu-ray. Director George Sidney's 1957 screen adaptation of the Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart musical, Pal Joey stars Frank Sinatra (The Manchurian Candidate) as the title character, a self-serving crooner whose desire to own a San Francisco nightclub leads him to seduce a stripper-turned-socialite (Rita Hayworth, The Lady from Shanghai); Joey's scheme, however, compromises his growing feelings towards an innocent chorus girl (Kim Novak, Vertigo).
Twilight Time's Blu-ray presents the film in its 1.85:1 original aspect ratio with a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track.
Update: Regarding the sound: Twilight Time found the film's original stereo tracks and implemented them for this Blu-ray, marking Pal Joey's first home video pressing with its true stereo mix.
In addition, the disc also has the following bonus features:
Isolated score track
Backstage and at Home with Kim Novak featurette
Original theatrical trailer
Liner notes by Julie Kirgo
As is the standard for Twilight Time releases, the Blu-ray has a limited 3,000 unit run.
