The Intruder (40th Anniversary Edition) | Year: 1961 Classification: Drama Directed: - Roger Corman - David Bailey Actors/Actresses: - Charlotte Gainsbourg - Charles Powell Nice presentation I'm always a little wary of "budget" products such as this, but this is a well-done DVD. The label said the film was in color, and I said "uh-oh", but it isn't. It's the best presentation of the film I've seen. Parts of it are a bit ragged, but for the most part the image is sharp and looks fine, especially considering the mediocre VHS tapes I've screened.The interview with Corman and Shatner is enjoyable, and Shatner tells a very funny story regarding an incident that occurred during the filming. Three other trailers are included (not one for this film though) and are in less-than-stellar quality -none of them made me want to seek out the films they were selling. "The Intruder" is a gem of a film. The use of mostly local people gives the movie a realistic look. Although it is somewhat dated, it's still a superb film that has held up well. Superlative, too-little-known film. Many of the finest minds associated with the Twilight Zone...Chuck Beaumont, George Clayton Johnson, even William Shatber (star of 2 of the best episodes)...collaborated with Roger Corman of all people to make this very valuable, very well-done film about the Civil Rights movement in the early '60's South. Even today, after 40 years, this movie delivers chills and conveys a powerful and important message. Shatner proves he can act. corman and shatner have a film to be proud of knocking both this director and actor is too easy. but, they both have a remarkable work they did together on their resume and that is the Intruder, aka I Hate Your Guts or any of the other various titles.<BR>this was wayyyy ahead of its time and as Corman likes to joke the only film he made which inintially lost money.<BR>and oh, SHATNER CAN ACT!<BR>buy this NOW!<BR>You wont be dissapointed. as poignant and powerful today as it was 40 years ago.
