Miami Blues George Armitage (Grosse Pointe Blank) adapted celebrated noir author Charles Willeford’s novel Miami Blues for the screen with new star Alec Baldwin in the lead role as sociopathic criminal Frederick J. Frenger, Jr. Arriving in Miami fresh out of jail he commits one crime after another when he meets young hooker Susie (Jennifer Jason Leigh, Single White Female) who he starts to build a pseudo married life with, including the home cooking and the white picket fence. As Frederick tries to juggle domesticity with his mounting crimes, dogged cop Hoke Moseley (Fred Ward, Tremors) threatens to put his freedom in jeopardy. Baldwin is brilliant as the unhinged criminal tearing through Miami while Armitage perfectly balances the humour and violence in this singular crime comedy that betrays the quirky influence of producer Jonathan Demme (Something Wild, Married to the Mob). 4K UHD & BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES 4K restoration of the original negative, presented in HDR / Dolby Vision 4K UHD and Blu-ray presentation of the feature Uncompressed stereo PCM audio Interviews with Alec Baldwin and Jennifer Jason Leigh (2015, 26 mins) David Jenkins looks at Miami Blues and Jonathan Demme’s role in the production (2022, 12 mins) Pulp crime expert Maxim Jakubowski looks at the character of Hoke Moseley in both Miami Blues and Willeford’s novels in which he is a recurrent character (2022, 11 mins) Behind-the-scenes and promotional image gallery Trailer English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow Booklet featuring writing by Glenn Kenny, an interview with George Armitage by critic Nick Pinkerton, Leila Latif on Alec Baldwin in comedy, an archival feature on Fred Ward and an overview of reviews Limited Edition of 5,000 copies presented in full-height Scanavo cases for each film and removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings Add five or more of our November releases (Radical Japan: Survival and Desire, Simone Barbès or Virtue, A Free Woman, Miami Blues, Nadja, The Ghost and Mulberry Street) to cart to receive 10% off.
