• Topaz: An Appreciation (SD, 29 minutes): "In some ways I feel it's ungrateful of us to criticize Hitchcock at all." Film critic and historian Leonard Maltin all but apologizes for Topaz and Hitchcock's lesser '60s films, peeling back the complications and complaints surrounding the film's lack of familiar stars (minus John Forsythe), its departures from the director's traditional interests and style, the difficulties of adapting a best-selling novel, and other things Maltin attributes to the film's failure with audiences. It's an informative docu-pology, mind you, it just spends more time defending Topaz than dissecting it.
• Alternate Endings (SD, 6 minutes): Three alternate endings are included: "The Duel," "The Airport" and "The Suicide."
• Storyboards: The Mendozas (SD, 12 minutes): A storyboards-to-stills comparison reel.
• Production Photographs (SD, 6 minutes): Movie posters, vintage ads and production photos.
• Theatrical Trailer (SD, 3 minutes)
