Synopsis:
Layering fascinating characters with the riotous events of early 1900s America, the best-seller by E.L.

Doctorow’s convoluted tale focuses on an unnamed white family who takes in an abandoned black child and the mother Sarah (Allen) to prevent the police from charging her with abandonment. When Coalhouse (Rollins) shows up to offer to marry Sarah. Things go awry for Coalhouse when a bigoted fireman damages her brand new Model T and Coalhouse seeks justice.
My description hardly does justice to Doctorow’s story much less the adaption of it which compliments the novel.
The transfer here is sourced from a brand new 4K restoration of the film. The Blu-ray looks terrific but this release makes one ask why Paramount didn’t release this as a 4K disc for the film. Still, compliments to Paramount for including a rough cut of the film (referred to as a Director’s Cut but I don’t know that Forman ever prepared a DC) which features about 20 minute of additional footage as well as some alternate angles/takes of various sequences. Some,ofmthe alternate footage is in an infished state and some in black and white.
The audio is presented in 5.1 but keep in mind the work print DC is in stereo sound.
The special features include deleted scenes, “Ragtime Revisited” which features the screenwriter reflecting on the film along with the commentary track,ported over from the previous Blu-ray with Milo’s Forman and producer Michael Hausman plus “Remembering Ragtime” from the earlier release.
Keep in mind that the work print is in decent condition but not restored.
As with all of the Paramount Select titles, it comes with a slipcase which opens to reveal a replica of the original poster.
A terrific sprawling film from Oscar winner Forman with a great cast, “Ragtime” may be a bit unwieldy but it’s a marvelous film with terrific performances.
This bluray is worth buying!
