December 7, 1941. It's a gorgeous Sunday like many before in the paradise of Hawaii. It's also a day unlike any other. It is 7:55 a.m. and bombs are falling on Pearl Harbor. Lives once measured in the day-to-day of living have suddenly come down to moments to be survived. Angie Dickinson, Robert Wagner, Lesley Ann Warren, Adam Arkin, Brian Dennehy and Dennis Weaver are among the large cast of Pearl, a lavish and volatile drama about Honolulu residents caught up in romantic and career entanglements - and then confronted by history's most notorious wake-up call. The emotional heart of the story is the deadly surprise attack itself. Enemy planes swoop from above. Sailors scramble to fight back. Cannons thunder. Metal explodes. The sea burns. It is a day which will live in infamy, the beginning of WWII for the United States.
The Warner Archive Collection is preparing a 2-disc MOD (manufacture on demand) DVD release of
Pearl, the star-studded 1978 mini-series. They have begun
taking pre-orders for the title, which begins shipping this coming Tuesday, on
November 22nd. It will be available exclusively from the studio's WBshop online store at first (which means it only ships to U.S. addresses), but is expected to become available later on from Amazon's CreateSpace MOD program, too. Cost is $24.95 SRP from WBshop.com, for 279 minutes. High-res cover art isn't available yet, but we've got the thumbnail for you on the right.
