Edward Dmytryk directs the 1962 drama Walk on the Wild Side, based on the novel by Nelson Algren. Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment presents the film on DVD for the first time with a widescreen transfer in the original black-and-white. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. Subtitles are available in English and French. Closed captions are also accessible. This is a decent release for a film with an Oscar-nominated title song composed by Elmer Bernstein.
