Blog From The Bench

Warner brothers has been cranking out a river of DVD goodness of late, and one good example is the Gangster Collection. I had some kind words for the commentary track in Angels With Dirty Faces, and to my pleasure the review was read by the professor who provided the commentary. Film is a community; it is good to remember that from time to time.

"I wanted to thank you for the incredibly kind comments on my ANGELS WITH
DIRTY FACES DVD commentary. It is very gratifying to have this
recognition of my attempt to say serious things about film but in an
accessible, compelling way.

Thank you.
Dana Polan
Professor"

No... thank you, Professor Polan. Good DVD commentaries are tricky, and you delivered.
