Little to say here. This is an earlyish Columbia title, so is entirely bereft of features, but the basic quality is very good. The Panavison shot film looks terrific here in all its widescreen glory, with only the most picky noticing any compression funnies - a fine achievement given the 2 hour plus running time. The sound too is fine, with some nice atmospheres, although it does seem a tad bass light overall. And, as Mr Gump would say, that's all I have to say about that.		Engrossing trueish tale of porn mag boss Larry Flynt, and his attempts to both shock and stay out of jail. As the title suggests, this is a film with legal matters at its core, since Flynt finds himself an unlikely crusader for the first amendment of the American constitution - the freedom of speech. Harrelson switches performances half way through after an assassination attempt, while wife Love is very good (and astonishingly versatile physically, playing both bloater and waster). But the real star here is young Edward Norton, stunning as the Flynts' lawyer - a less hyper John Cusack, if you will. Alternately funny, moving and yes, sexy once or twice, it's a film that guarantees to surprise most people somewhere along the way.
