The
1952 Fred Zinnemann film The Member Of The Wedding (1952)
lands on Blu-ray disc looking and sounding fantastic. Starring Ethel
Waters and Julie Harris and produced by Stanley Kramer (Judgment
at Nuremberg) and based on the Carson McCullers' Broadway play,
the film is a must for fans of theater and looks gorgeous in black
