While not an "extra," the quality of the main feature on this disc is a selling point:
In the pantheon of 1970s American cinema, few films are as elusive, cool, and quietly revolutionary as Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye . Based on Raymond Chandler’s classic novel, the film famously transplants detective Philip Marlowe (played with shaggy-dog perfection by Elliott Gould) from the 1940s into the hedonistic, sun-drenched chaos of 1973 Los Angeles. For decades, home video releases ranged from mediocre to outright disastrous. That all changed in 2021 when Kino Lorber (in the US) and Arrow Video (in the UK) released definitive editions. But for collectors and cinephiles, the headline isn’t just the picture quality—it’s the extras .

The release of The Long Goodbye (1973), published on December 7, 2021 , stands as a definitive high-definition edition of Robert Altman’s neo-noir masterpiece. This 1080p Blu-ray is headlined by a brand new 4K restoration that finally captures the film’s unique "flashed" visual aesthetic with modern precision. Comprehensive Special Features and Extras
