The quirky 1980 law enforcement-flavored comedy-drama The Black Marble is directed by Harold Becker (The Boost) from a screenplay by Joseph Wambaugh (The Choirboys, The Onion Field) based on his best-selling novel.

Sergeant A.M. Valnikov (Robert Foxworth, Prophecy) is a hard-drinking homicide detective transferred to Hollywood’s robbery division. His new partner Natalie Zimmerman (Paula Prentiss, The Parallax View) is a hard-nosed divorcee with no patience for burnt-out cops. And “Terrier King” Philo Skinner (Harry Dean Stanton, Pretty in Pink) is a desperate dog groomer who has kidnapped a champion schnauzer for $84,000 in ransom. Together they will track this case through a town of tarnished dreams where crime is never perfect, love is often blind and some people always seem to pick The Black Marble.

Co-starring Barbara Babcock (Chosen Survivors) and Judy Landers (TV’s Vegas), the film’s memorable score is by legendary composer Maurice Jarre (Lawrence of Arabia).

Features include the following:

-4K Restoration from the Original Camera Negative
-Audio Commentary by Director Harold Becker
-Theatrical Trailer
