This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

For his film directorial debut, producer Dore Schary selected a longtime pet property: Miss Lonelyhearts, Nathaniel West's trenchant 1933 novel. Montgomery Clift delivers a haunting performance as journalist Adam White, assigned by his cynical editor Adam Shrike (Robert Ryan) to take over a newspaper advice column. Signing himself Miss Lonelyhearts, White is appalled by the human misery pouring out of the letters sent to him (one of his correspndents was born without a nose), but Shrike insists that anyone who'd write to such a column is fake. To find out for himself, White looks up one of the correspondents, unhappily married Fay Doyle (Oscar-nominated Maureen Stapleton). His pity for the seriously disturbed Fay nearly leads to tragedy. Meanwhile, Shrike tries to contend with his own tottering marriage to his wife Florence (Myrna Loy)...

Reviewer: Elyse Kopel from Glen Cove, NY United States  
I was reluctant ordering from a website I wasn't familiar with.  But everything went fine -- the quality of the dvd I ordered is great and shipping was timely.
I definitely would recommend!!

4 of 5 Lonelyhearts (1958) February 24, 2022
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
Very pleased with service. This a good sharp copy of an old favorite. Packaging excellent and dispatched promptly. The only reason I only gave it four stars is because I wish it had sub titles. I am deaf and even with hearing aids I need subtitles. But that's not your fault, I should have asked.

5 of 5 Movie Detective, the place to go------- April 2, 2018
Reviewer: Hildegard Brosseau from Stratford, CT United States  
------- when you are looking for something out of the ordinary. Once again Movie Detective came through with flying colours, as always fast, reliable, secure. Their packaging is very good, sturdy [no flimsy, padded envelopes for them], even has a sticker on it "Fragile DO NOT BEND".
This time around I bought "Lonelyhearts", which turned out to be even better than I had hoped. It is an excellent film, a true gem. Praise and thanks be to Dore Schary who took the risk of putting Montgomery Clift in the lead at a time when no other movie studio would touch Clift with a ten foot pole. And it paid off. Clift is excellent in the part, as are Robert Ryan, Maureen Stapleton, and Myrna Loy. There wasn't a moment when the film did not have my attention. I can only recommend it.
