Fat City

John Huston's sombre but compassionate boxing drama is a criminally underseen late-career masterpiece from the great director. Peppered with outstanding performances this gritty yet affectionate look at the world of small-time boxing highlights a down-and-out fighter and a young up-and-comer, both moving through a world of seedy gyms and flop houses.4K restoration from the original negativeOriginal mono audioAlternative 5.1 surround sound trackAudio commentary by film historians Lem Dobbs and Nick Redman (2015)Sucker Punch Blues: Looking Back on John Huston's 'Fat City' (2017, 55 mins): documentary featuring interviews with actors Stacy Keach and Candy Clark, casting director Fred Roos and assistant cameraman Gary VidorAn American Classic (2015, 22 mins): illustrated audio interview with Fat City author Leonard GardnerJohn Huston on 'Fat City' (1972, 6 mins): archival interview filmed for the French TV programme Pour le cinémaThe John Player Lecture with John Huston (1972, 88 mins): audio recording of an interview conducted by Brian Baxter at the National Film Theatre, LondonIsolated scoreOriginal theatrical trailerImage galleryNew and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
