In the age of streaming, even influential masterpieces can fall through the cracks and be completely unavailable to watch.
For its 50th anniversary, we will be treated to a theatrical re-release of Francis Ford Coppola’s Oscar winning masterpiece The Godfather, along with 4K remasters of the entire trilogy on home video. 1972 brought us a whole host of terrific films we get to commemorate for their golden anniversaries.
How could something like this happen? The Heartbreak Kid and Sleuth are not particularly obscure films. May's film was written by beloved playwright Neil Simon and stars Charles Grodin, Cybil Shepherd, Jeannie Berlin, and Eddie Albert, the latter two receiving Academy Award nominations for their performances.
What complicates matters further here is not every Palomar Pictures International film has met the same fate as The Heartbreak Kid and Sleuth. Palomar also produced The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, and that films is easily accessible through digital rentals and has a very nice Blu-ray release. Sydney Pollack's Oscar winning film They Shoot Horses, Don't They? currently has a Blu-ray but absolutely no digital presence.
The Heartbreak Kid and Sleuth are truly great cinematic achievements, and if you have the means to procure difficult to track down copies of them, you absolutely should. These films not only are high watermarks of their respective genres, but they have been immensely influential works for filmmakers today.
