Sony continues to pile onto an amazing year for great 4K releases with Brad Pitt's luscious locks in Edward Zwick's epic 'The Legends of the Fall' and the classic George Stevens comedy 'Talk of the Town' starring Cary Grant and Jean Arthur. Both films score brand new 4K Dolby Vision transfers and hit shelves December 3rd. 

Sony has had a hell of a year with disc releases! Celebrating Columbia Pictures' centennial, Sony keeps adding to their already impressive slate of releases with two more to kick off the month of December. On one side, you have a hilarious classic comedy, on the other you have a sweeping epic with Brad Pitt sporting a luxurious coiffure worthy of Main 'n Tail's best products. Both Talk of the Town and Legends of the Fall will feature new 4K transfers along with a healthy assortment of bonus features. 

Talk of the Town - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 

 

SYNOPSIS

Nora (Jean Arthur) is trying to figure out what to do about Leopold Dilg (Cary Grant), who’s landed on her doorstep looking for a safe place to hide after escaping from jail, when her summer tenant, stuffy lawyer Michael Lightcap (Ronald Coleman) arrives early to take up residence. Believing Leopold to be innocent, she stashes the wounded Dilg in the attic. Keeping Leopold hidden becomes impossible but Nora and Leopold set about to win Michael’s sympathy to Dilg’s legal plight without revealing his identity. Constant, ridiculous and comic mix-ups and mishaps threaten to destroy the trio’s friendship and potentially lead to Leopold facing a hostile mob for a crime he didn’t commit. George Stevens deftly explores corrupt small-town politics and the individual’s responsibility to society while fueling a fast-paced romantic comedy with lightness and charm.
