One of the most requested titles for DVD release, Becket makes its long-awaited premiere in the medium as a superb special edition. I had the privilege of seeing the recently restored film in 35mm at New York's Film Forum theater earlier this year. It looked terrific, but the DVD edition looks even more impressive. Director Peter Glenville's adaptation of Jean Anouhilh's stage play was one of the most acclaimed films of 1964. It has been absent on home video since a laser disc edition went out of print many years ago.
