JULIA BLU RAY TWILIGHT TIME

Adapted by Alvin Sargent from a chapter in Lillian Hellman’s memoir, Pentimento, and directed by the magisterial Fred Zinnemann, Julia (1977) stars Jane Fonda as the famously flinty Hellmann and Vanessa Redgrave as her childhood friend, a young woman from a wealthy upper-crust American family who becomes a ferocious anti-Fascist in Europe during the prelude to World War II. Also starring Jason Robards as Hellman’s tough lover, the writer Dashiell Hammett, and Maximilian Schell as a deceptively mild-mannered resistance member. Shot by Douglas Slocombe, and highlighted by music from the sublime Georges Delerue.
