The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Preceding Bonnie and Clyde by a year, Arthur Penn's (Mickey One) acclaimed film boasts enviable pedigree – produced by the legendary Sam Spiegel, with a screenplay by Lillian Hellman from the novel by Horton Foote, a rousing score by John Barry, and a stellar cast of the hottest stars of the day (including Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford, Angie Dickinson and James Fox). The story of an escaped con making his way back to the corrupt Texas town and the people who sent him to prison, The Chase is a telling indictment of violence in American society. A seminal work which is ripe for rediscovery.

Reviews
Lexikon des Int.Films: "In Texas bemüht sich ein redlicher Sheriff, einen ausgebrochenen Sträfling vor der Lynchjustiz zu bewahren. Penns aufwändiger, passagenweise bestechend inszenierter Film muß sich auf ein allzu oberflächliches Drehbuch stützen, zeichnet aber gleichwohl ein beängstigend kritisches Bild der Gewalttätigkeit in einer von Vorurteilen beherrschten Gesellschaft."More from Arthur Penn
