Olive Films has tagged
Apr. 22 as the street date for a newly-prepared Blu-ray edition of director
Sidney Lumet’s 1965 film, The Pawnbroker.
Although it made it’s
debut at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1964, winning the Silver
Berlin Bear for Rod Steiger’s performance as Sol Nazerman, a Nazi concentration
camp survivor who now runs a pawnshop on 116th Street in New York
City, the film didn’t reach domestic theatres until Apr. of 1965.
Steiger would earn his
second of three Best Actor Oscar nominations, but he lost out to Lee Marvin’s
performance in Cat Ballou, … Steiger would come back to win Oscar gold for his
acting In the Heat of the Night two years later.
No word on any bonus
nuggets included on the Blu-ray at this time.
