Thanks, Don vercetti, I must have missed the list of extras in the Criterion site. It sounds like the extras are just as good as the ones they included for the Le Circle Rouge edition. Nogueira can get a bit garrulous, but he is entertaining and the author of that classic interview book with Melville. I have Vincendeu's excellent book on Melville and look forward to her DVD comments. I'm not an admirer of the condescending David Thomson, however. He once described Jean Gabin's character in Le Jour se Leve as a "gangster," when anyone who really saw the movie knows he plays a worker who kills someone and is trapped by the police. But good stuff otherwise.
