Gerry Otley (Tom Courtenay – The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Billy Liar, 45 Years) is a charming scrounger who stumbles unwittingly into espionage, murder and double crossing as he is mistaken for a spy, kidnapped, and then becomes romantically embroiled with a sexy foreign agent, played by Romy Schneider (Purple Noon, Ludwig, Death Watch).

|  Quote: TOWN ON TRIAL
(John Guillermin, 1957)
Release date: 19 March 2018
Limited Blu-ray Edition (World Blu-ray premiere) - pre-order here
Investigating a murder in a small English town, a brusque Police Inspector (John Mills – Hobson's Choice, Ice Cold in Alex, Young Winston) discovers that virtually everyone he encounters has something to hide. Setting the template for British crime thrillers for decades to come (including recent TV hit Broadchurch), director John Guillermin’s audacious, often salacious, drama is untypical of mainstream British cinema of its time. An intelligent and gripping police-procedural thriller and macabre melodrama, Town on Trial is a rare treat which is ripe for rediscovery.

• High Definition remaster
• Original mono audio
• The John Player Lecture with John Mills (1970): archival audio recording of an interview conducted by Margaret Hinxman at London’s National Film Theatre

.My daughter also ordered me Wayne Kinsey's FRANKENSTEIN SCRAPBOOK which is know is fetching outrageous prices on Ebay & it looks great.Regarding the missing disc my wife has emailed BASE.COM & I'm waiting for a reply though it was perhaps best to alert Powerhouse if issues are arising.
.I emailed Powerhouse & they said that no other issues like mine had been reported.I'll request a replacement SINBAD & THE EYE OF THE TIGER next.
