What better way is there to celebrate our birthday than with this stunning Blu-ray Disc? Arthur Hiller’s deft and delightful anti-war satire The Americanization of Emily (1964) continues to charm the pants off audiences a half century after its original release. The American Film Institute selected this classic as one of the most important American films ever made thanks to director Hiller’s stewardship, a wise and witty script by Paddy Chayefsky, crisp B&W camerawork from Philip Lathrop, magical music from Johnny Mandel and a sparkling cast headed by James Garner and Julie Andrews that includes Melvyn Douglas, James Coburn, Keenan Wynn and William Windom. And hats off to producer Martin Ransohoff! In the film, Garner plays Lt. Cmdr. Charles Edward Madison, the best dogbody the services have ever known. Whatever supplies and sumptuaries are desired by his commanding officer, Admiral Jessup (Douglas), Madison has the guile to get ‘em. But when his irresistible charm comes up against the immovable beauty of British war widow Emily Barham and the sparks start to scorch, Charlie, a devoted pacifist, is given a true suicide mission - filming the first serviceman that will die on the beaches of Normandy - and to make sure it’s a Navyman!
