Luther [DVD] [1974]

Stacy Keach stars in this screen adaptation of John Osborne's play Luther, produced as part of the ambitious but short-lived American Film Theater series, which comes to DVD in an edition featuring plenty of extras. Luther has been given a letterboxed transfer to disc in the widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which has been enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16 x 9 monitors. The audio is mastered in Dolby Digital Mono; the dialogue is in English with no multiple language options included. Bonus materials include trailers for Luther and ten other AFT productions, an essay on the play by Michael Feingold of The Village Voice, a reproduction of the original AFT program for the film, a gallery of production stills, and interviews with AFT executive Edie Landau, and a promotional film for the series featuring founder Ely Landau.
