Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville's 'Best of Enemies' Bound for Blu-ray

The documentary will hit Blu-ray in November.

In an early announcement to retailers, Magnolia will be releasing 'Best of Enemies' on Blu-ray on November 3.

In the summer of 1968 television news changed forever. Dead last in the ratings, ABC hired two towering public intellectuals to debate each other during the Democratic and Republican national conventions. William F. Buckley Jr. was a leading light of the new conservative movement. A Democrat and cousin to Jackie Onassis, Gore Vidal was a leftist novelist and polemicist. Armed with deep-seated distrust and enmity, Vidal and Buckley believed each other's political ideologies were dangerous for America. Like rounds in a heavyweight battle, they pummeled out policy and personal insult—their explosive exchanges devolving into vitriolic name-calling. Live and unscripted, they kept viewers riveted. Ratings for ABC News skyrocketed. And a new era in public discourse was born.

Specs and supplements have yet to be revealed, but suggested list price is $29.98.
