1. Downhill Racer
2. Downhill Racer (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]
Description
Astonishing Alpine location photography and a young Robert Redford (The Sting) in one of his earliest starring roles are just two of the visual splendors of Downhill Racer, the visceral debut feature by Michael Ritchie (The Bad News Bears). In a beautifully understated performance, Redford is David Chappellet, a ruthlessly ambitious skier competing for Olympic gold with an underdog American team in Europe, and Gene Hackman (The French Connection) provides tough support as the coach who tries to temper the upstarts narcissistic drive for glory. With a subtle screenplay by the acclaimed novelist James Salter, Downhill Racer is a vivid character portrait, buoyed by breathtakingly fast and furious imagery that places the viewer directly in the mind of the competitor. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES High-definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Interviews from 2009 with actor Robert Redford, screenwriter James Salter, editor Richard Harris, production manager Walter Coblenz, and former downhill skiier Joe Jay Jalbert, who served as a technical adviser, ski double, and cameraman on the film Audio excerpts from a 1977 American Film Institute seminar with director Michael Ritchie How Fast?, a rare twelve-minute promotional feature from 1969 Trailer PLUS: An essay by critic Todd McCarthy3.

Description
Released the same year as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"; this other "little" Robert Redford picture finds the rising star playing a hotshot skier out for Olympic Gold at the expense of his fellow U.S. teammates. Michael Ritchie (who later directed Redford in "The Candidate") offers a convincing character study in a sports movie that often defies genre conventions. Fresh interviews with a handful of the film's participants help make this overdue disc debut earn medalist honors. Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.4.
