British distributors Network have confirmed that they will release on Blu-ray director Anthony Kimmins' thriller
Mine Own Executioner (1947), starring Burgess Meredith, Dulcie Gray, Michael Shepley, John Laurie, and Barbara White. The release is set to arrive on the UK market on March 9, 2015.
With compelling, sympathetic performances from double Oscar nominee Burgess Meredith and accomplished Irish actor Kieron Moore, this powerful psychological drama shows the almost super-human demands of a profession that ranks amongst the most challenging. Adapted from his own novel by BAFTA-winning author and screenwriter Nigel Balchin, Mine Own Executioner is presented in a brand-new High Definition transfer from the original film elements.
Meredith stars as Felix Milne, a lay psychiatrist in post-War London who is enlisted to treat Adam Lucian, a fighter pilot deeply traumatised by his experiences in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. Beleaguered by emotional problems of his own, Milne embodies the mixture of dedication, self-distrust and self-criticism that characterises a man with a genuine vocation for the psychiatrist's work; but is he qualified to treat a patient as disturbed and potentially destructive as Adam?
