Winner of two BAFTAs and nominated for five Academy Awards, Network is delighted to announce the release of French New Wave director Louis Malle’s poignant tale of a decaying city and the dreams of the deviant characters that reside within its walls with the release of Atlantic City out to buy on DVD on August 4.

Hollywood legend Burt Lancaster plays Lou, an aging, deluded, small-time crook who scrapes a living running numbers for the mob. In his fantasies, he is a big fish in with the big boys like Al Capone. His life takes an interesting turn when he encounters Dave (Robert Joy), a young cocaine dealer who attempts to sell the wares he stole from some heavyweight gangsters before arriving in Atlantic City. The broad is his attractive, ambitious oyster bar waitress partner, Sally (Susan Sarandon), eager to learn in order to make way for a better life. But Dave’s actions have inevitable consequences resulting in opportunity for Lou in this transfixing, atmospheric tale about love, honour, drugs and money.
