PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE Collector's Edition Blu-ray | ©2014 Shout! Factory

Stars: Paul Williams, William Finley, Harold Oblong, George Memmoli, Archie Hahn, Jeffrey Comanor, Gerrit Graham, Jessica Harper Writer-Director: Brian De Palma Suggested Retail Price: $29.93 Distributor: Shout! Factory The 1970s, we sure do miss you.
