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.

Edward G Robinson (All My Sons) takes on a dual role, playing both an advertising man and a violent gangster, in The Whole Town's Talking, a fast-paced screwball comedy from legendary director John Ford (The Long Gray Line), also starring Jean Arthur (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington). Mild-mannered Arthur Jones (Robinson) is arrested when he is mistaken for his doppelgänger, bank robber "Killer" Mannion (also Robinson). When Mannion gets wind of this, he kidnaps Jones' co-worker Miss Clark (Arthur), and seeks to frame Jones for his crimes... Based on a story by W R Burnett (Little Caesar), and co-written by regular Frank Capra collaborator Robert Riskin (It Happened One Night), The Whole Town's Talking is a hilarious blend of screwball comedy and crime film.
