Kino Lorber will add to their Blu-ray catalog director Anatole Litvak's crime thriller
Five Miles to Midnight (1962), starring Sophia Loren, Anthony Perkins, Gig Young, Jean-Pierre Aumont, and Elina Labourdette. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Synopsis: In director Anatole Litvak's
Five Miles to Midnight, a sexy European woman, Lisa (Loren), marries a domineering, jealous American, Robert (Perkins), and becomes trapped in a violent marriage. Much to her relief, Robert leaves on business, only to plunge to his death in a plane crash. Even more shocking for Lisa, however, is learning her husband is, in fact, still alive and planning to collect insurance money by playing dead. The film leads the viewer down a road of deception and suspense, a journey further complicated by Lisa's friends, two journalists (Young and Aumont), whom she confides in about her dastardly situation. While Loren plays her typically sensual self, Perkins is eerie and unnerving, and the film's surprise ending is supremely thrilling.
