JERICHO, NY, December 4, 2003 – AMC's popular series DVD_TV continues on Sunday, December 7 with a look at the
1983 film RISKY BUSINESS starring Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay. The film will air in its full-screen version at 6:00 PM ET/PT, followed by a "Much More Movie" version at 8:00 PM ET/PT.
Once each month, DVD_TV taps into the cravings of movie people, offering a Sunday movie marathon populated by DVD-like extras, including original programming and rare behind the scenes footage, exclusive interviews and more. Each marathon features at least two versions of a seminal movie – the full-screen version followed by a "Much More Movie" version. "Much More Movie" is a letterbox version which provides viewers with little known facts about the movie as they appear at the bottom of the screen. It provides a rich layer of additional detail about the background players, the elements surrounding the production, the casting of the performers, the music, cinematography and much, much more.
Directed by Paul Brickman, RISKY BUSINESS turned a very young Tom Cruise into a major box-office sensation. The film was also one of the top grossing films of 1983. Cruise was nominated in 1984 for a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture for this role.
