Platinum Disc Corp. has made a deal to release a budget DVD of 13 episodes of the half-hour RAY BRADBURY THEATER that used to run on HBO. Bradbury scripted the show and was an executive producer on it, and though shot low budget in Canada, there are some very fine actors in many of the episodes. The Platinum transfer is not as sharp as it should be, but I recommend this bargain disc for including the episodes:
The Crowd
Marionettes Inc.
The Playground
The Screaming Woman
The Town Where No One Got Off
Banshee (with Peter O'Toole as John Huston)
The Coffin
Gotcha!
The Emissary
The Man Upstairs
The Small Assassin
On the Orient, North
The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl
Long time readers of Bradbury will recognize many of these story titles.
