The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Based on the disclosures of mobster Joe Valachi, as recounted in Peter Maas' best-selling biography and at a sensational congressional hearing, The Valachi Papers tells the story of one man's brutal journey through the ranks of the Cosa Nostra, and a betrayal that would reveal the secrets of the Mob to the world. Terence Young (From Russia with Love) skilfully renders the clandestine world of violent gangsters in this stylish European co-production which benefits from thrilling action, a no-nonsense central portrayal from Charles Bronson (Breakout), and impressive ensemble performances from Lino Ventura (The Medusa Touch), Joseph Wiseman (The Garment Jungle) and Jill Ireland (The Valdez Horses).

Reviews

»Obwohl ungleich härter und direkter inszeniert als Coppolas oft romantisierendes Epos, avancierten auch die "Valachi-Papiere" zu einem Kassenhit.« (Dirk Jaspers Filmlexikon)
