Unhappy

you would think since it the first time its been released by them in the UK basket case would also get a Blu-Ray release for people who don't and can't afford a 4K player and since the second sight version is now out of print they would have cause my second sight release skip pause and jump so I could do with it getting a new copy on Blu-Ray.

Behind Convent Walls is a pretty dire film. Anyone who thought Dr. Jekyll was dull, well you ain't seen nothing yet.

NEW UK TITLE: 'That Cold Day in the Park' (1969) - Limited Edition Blu-ray pre-order available from Arrow Uk - £18:00

Release date: April 8

"Made after years of directing television and industrial films - and just one year before his commercial breakthrough with M*A*S*H - Robert Altman's underrated psychosexual chiller That Cold Day in the Park, arguably the first true 'Altman film', is a stylish harbinger of the themes that would resonate through many of the director's later masterpieces such as Images and 3 Women.

On a cold and rainy day, Frances Austen (Sandy Dennis, Academy Award winner for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), a reclusive virgin sheltered from the sexual revolution happening outside her door, suddenly becomes obsessed with an enigmatic 19 year-old boy she sees sitting on a park bench. Inviting him into her apartment to be bathed and fed, Frances' repressed fantasies soon violently boil over into a dangerous and disturbing desire to keep the boy in her clutches... no matter what.

Adapted from Richard Miles' novel by British author Gillian Freeman (The Leather Boys), Altman expertly turns the screws in this suspenseful tale of sexual repression, the chilly Vancouver locations vividly photographed by László Kovács the same year he lensed Easy Rider, and accompanied by a haunting score from Johnny Mandel, just before he co-wrote the anthem "Suicide Is Painless" for Altman's next film."


Special Features:

TWO-DISC LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS
  • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tom Ralston
  • Illustrated collectors' booklet featuring new writing by Brad Stevens, Anna Bogutskaya and James Flower, original press notes including an essay by Altman, and an excerpt from David Thompson's Altman on Altman

DISC ONE
  • High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation
  • Original lossless mono audio
  • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
  • New audio commentary by critic Samm Deighan

  • Crazy in the Rain: Altman's Vancouver, a newly produced featurette revisiting the locations by Kier-La Janisse, author of House of Psychotic Women
  • Archive interview with film critic and historian David Thompson, author of Altman on Altman
  • Extended scenes from a pre-release print of the film, never seen on home video before
  • Over ten minutes of behind-the-scenes footage featuring Altman and Dennis, from the archives of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
  • Theatrical trailer
  • Image gallery

DISC TWO (LIMITED EDITION EXCLUSIVE)

It looks like two new PDF booklets have been added to the 'Download' file on the Arrow site

They are for 'Warning From Space' and the 'Vengeance Trails' set
