Robert Redford, Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, Robert Duvall, James Fox, Angie Dickinson and an entire panoply of instantly recognisable character actors like E.G. Marshall, Miriam Hopkins, etc. etc. etc. It's an absolutely phenomenal cast.

And with the proviso that I co-produced it so am far from unbiased, it's a pretty phenomenal disc - the 4K restoration looks eye-poppingly gorgeous, and the Arthur Penn and James Fox interviews (each around 25 mins) are two of the meatiest I can recall on a recent release. Penn comes courtesy of the raw footage from Paul Joyce's doc Marlon Brando: The Wild One (some of which also ended up on Arrow's One-Eyed Jacks, although there's no content overlap), while Fox is interviewed by his son-in-law Richard Ayoade, who is pretty much perfect: he's clearly done the necessary homework with unnerving thoroughness, but there's also a wonderfully easy rapport with a man he's been related to by marriage for a decade.

And we also licensed the Twilight Time extras: commentary, isolated John Barry score, and so on.
