MGM HD will put the talents of Academy Award-winner Robert De Niro on enhanced display next month.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's high-definition channel will present some of De Niro's best films, Raging Bull, Flawless and Ronin, throughout August.
Moreover, the service will air Craft, an MGM original mini-documentary featuring behind-the-scenes footage, classic film clips and never-before-seen photos of De Niro from MGM's vast archives.
Other Craft mini-documentaries have profiled Woody Allen, Jody Foster, Meryl Streep, Marlon Brandon and Gene Hackman. Craft was a finalist for a 2009 Promax Award in the interstitial/promo-tainment/movie wrap category.
