The extras included on DVDs from the Criterion Collection are
always worth a look. Their recent release of Sam Fuller's
PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET contains two filmed interviews with
the director, as well as an illustrated biographical essay
and a text interview with star Richard Widmark. Nothing to
provoke a reappraisal of the film, but they do add to your
appreciation of it.
For what it's worth, here's a link to my column from Steve
Lewis' Mystery*File reviewing the Criterion discs of THE
KILLERS and LE CERCLE ROUGE in detail:
