Back when Michael Redfield and I were hard at work editing “Hero by Proxy,” there was a lively debate about whether we should embrace the film’s noirish aesthetic to the fullest extent and actually post it in black and white. At one point, I went so far as to propose a hybrid solution: put Hank’s storyline in black and white, and leave the Private Eye’s adventure in color.
In the end, Michael decided that the film played best in its color version. But we didn’t want to deny you guys the chance to see it in all its 1940′s glory. And so, in the spirit of bonus features on a DVD, here’s “Hero by Proxy” — The Full-Noir Edition! Enjoy.
