Vindication for Eddie

Criterion again rescues a piece of cinematic history from the long dark abyss of obscurity. THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE, reviewed by me here last year, has finally gotten a proper video home release. Make that any home release. For some unexplained reason, this picture has never been available on homevideo. Now it is, in the best possible presentation. Marvel in Mitchum's perfect performance and the authentic grit of early 70s Boston. Urban Greek tragedy at its grimy finest.
