Just because something’s a Columbia title doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily available for licensing. And in this case materials may well be a hurdle, which is what stymied plans for a turn-of-the-60s Hammer comedy box.  |

'Essential Film Noir: Collection 5' - Blu-ray pre-order available from [Imprint] direct - Aus $119.95 Release date: November 29 "Step into the darkness with four more incredible noir classics in this limited edition boxset Island Of Doomed Men (1940) Worldwide first on Blu-ray! Oscar winner Charles Barton directs the legendary Peter Lorre (M, The Maltese Falcon) in this sensational Noir that “pushes the censorship restrictions of the era as far as possible thanks to its elements of sadism, bondage, spousal abuse, and one very startling moment of (simulated) animal cruelty” (TCM, Nathaniel Thompson). Peter Lorre plays Stephen Danel, the owner of Dead Man’s Island, using the off-the-radar colony as a place to keep paroled convicts as slaves. Undercover agent Mark Sheldon gets sent to the island and becomes trapped himself as Danel’s sadistic guards maintain a tight circle around the house and grounds. Special Features & Technical Specs:
The Red Menace (1949) This controversial noir (later re-released as Underground Spy) stars Robert Rockwell, Betty Lou Gerson, and Barbra Fuller, directed by R.G. Springsteen. When a disgruntled ex-soldier gets no help from the Veteran’s Bureau, he is ripe for the influences of Communists who lead him down the party line. But he soon meets up with disgruntled party members who attempt to break out. Special Features & Technical Specs:
The Burglar (1957) Worldwide first on Blu-ray! Based on the 1953 novel of the same name by David Goodis, The Burglar stars Dan Duryea, Jayne Mansfield and Martha Vickers. A burglar and his two associates set their sights on a wealthy spiritualist who has inherited a fortune – including a renowned emerald necklace – from a Philadelphia financier. “This film is loaded with wonderful expressionistic touches that constantly surprise you, and sometimes take your breath away. A flashback sequence shrouded in dreamlike darkness, jolting edits, radical sound design, Sol Kaplan’s amazing score, car chases that feel like you’re riding the bumper, striking close-ups and shocking angles, and a stunning 10-minute carnival climax. … this is an artful noir that deserves more recognition.” – Martin Teller Special Features & Technical Specs:
13 West Street (1962) Worldwide first on Blu-ray! Alan Ladd and Rod Steiger star in this thrilling adaptation of Leigh Brackett’s 1957 novel ‘The Tiger Among Us’. When Walt Sherill is brutally beaten by a gang of angry teenagers, he decides to track the teens himself — hiring a private detective, buying a gun, and stalking potential suspects."

 All that shooting of elephants and tigers and everything make this pretty much unwatchable for me, nowadays.I've often wondered about why this happens now and didn't when I was a kid. Maybe because today they are all one blink away from extinction? I dunno. The "great white hunter" thing didn't age very well for me, and I take some pride in being able to try and see things in the light of the times in which they were made, and not contemporary morals. But I digress, sorry. Maybe the next boxed set is not jungle based! ramses likes this. |
