General:


Synopsis: A former prisoner of war, Frank Enley is hailed as a hero in his California town. However, Frank actually aided his Nazi captors, and he closely guards this secret. Frank's shameful past comes back to visit him when fellow survivor Joe Parkson emerges, intent on making the turncoat pay for his betrayal. As Joe closes in on Frank, the traitor goes into hiding, abandoning his wife, Edith, who has no clue about her husband's wartime transgressions.

Extra Features:

  • Audio Commentary - This full-length and largely entertaining DVD-era track features recently retired film professor and historian Dr. Drew Casper, who provides a well-researched and informative overview of Act of Violence from a technical and thematic perspective. He also takes time delving into the lives and careers of several prominent cast members as well as director Fred Zinnemann; this should make the commentary very appealing for fans of the film and genre, as well as those working in front of and behind the camera.
  • Act of Violence: Dealing with the Devil (5:08) - Another DVD carryover extra, this short but informative featurette includes brief comments from industry veterans including Alain Silver, Christopher Coppola, Oliver Stone, and Richard Schickel, who each share their separate thoughts on the film.
  • Classic Cartoons - Two era-specific shorts from the MGM/WB vaults, both decently restored in HD. Goggle Fishing Bear (7:21) - This decently entertaining 1949 Barney Bear cartoon features our ursine hero on an underwater fishing expedition where he ends up facing off against a lobster and shark. The Shell-Shocked Egg (6:50) - No PTSD in this Robert McKimson Merrie Melodies short, just a partly-hatched baby turtle named Clem who gets into trouble when separated from his family.
