Finally! Never before legally released on home video (although there was/is a really awful unauthorized DVD floating around),
Robert Culp's 1972 P.I. flick
Hickey & Boggs, which reunited him with his
I Spy co-star
Bill Cosby, with a script by
Walter Hill, is
officially coming to DVD later this month, courtesy of MGM's "Limited Edition Collection" of Manufactured-On-Demand discs.
I've only seen about the last 5 minutes of it on cable TV in the mid-90s, and I've wanted to see the whole thing ever since. It's generally well-regarded by P.I. movie/
noir fans, even though it was apparently a bit too grim and dark for audiences in 1972. I'm eager to get my hands on the movie - hopefully, it won't disappoint.

Goodbye, Mr. Jello Pudding Pops. Hello, Nastiness.
I suggest a shower after viewing. Or at least a bigger gun.
It's available for rent from Amazon for $2.99 if you want to get a sneak peek.
It's a terrific movie. I downloaded a pristine print from Amazon a year or so back....

I'm old fashioned. I prefer physical media over downloads. :)
Thus, I'm glad to have it on DVD - or will be, in a week or two.
I received the disc today. The transfer looks great - virtually blemish-free - and it's in its proper widescreen aspect ratio!
Gonna watch it tonight!
