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.

Humphrey Bogart and John Derek star in Knock on Any Door, a hard-hitting amalgam of film noir, social commentary, and courtroom drama. Nick Romano (Derek) is a young criminal whose motto is 'live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse'. But, when Nick faces the death penalty for killing a police officer, hotshot lawyer Andrew Morton (Bogart) defends him, arguing that the killer is merely a product of his environment. Based on the controversial novel by Willard Motley and directed by the great Nicholas Ray, Knock on Any Door is an often-shocking indictment of the poverty that blights America's slums.
