It's just been brought to my attention that March will see the release in the UK of Fritz Lang's stripped down, mean and moody film noir The Big Heat. The movie is coming via boutique label Indicator:
INDICATOR LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES:
* Audio commentary by film historians Lem Dobbs, Julie Kirgo and Nick Redman
* New filmed appreciation by film historian Tony Rayns
* Martin Scorsese on The Big Heat
* Michael Mann on The Big Heat
* Isolated score
* Original theatrical trailer
* Image gallery: on-set and promotional photography
* New and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
* Limited edition exclusive booklet with a new essay by critic Glenn Kenny
* Limited Dual Format Edition of 3,000 copies

I wrote a piece on the movie here about a year ago and since it's a title I like very much I'm pleased to pass along this welcome news.
