StudioCanal has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Robert Hamer's film Pink String and Sealing Wax (1945), starring Mervyn Johns, Googie Withers, Gordon Jackson, Sally Ann Howes, and Mary Merrall. The release will be available for purchase on April 25.
In 1890's Brighton, the young son of a puritanical chemist longs to escape the repressive environment of his family life and the overbearing restraints of his cruel, pious father. Eventually finding refuge in a local tavern he is immediately attracted to the sordid glamour of the drinking classes and the gritty world that they inhabit. He also finds himself becoming infatuated with the tavern's landlady, which will inadvertently lead to him being drawn into a plot to kill her abusive husband.
Directed by Robert Hamer (Kind Hearts and Coronets, School for Scoundrels), Pink String And Sealing Wax cleverly entwines the dynamics of a thriller with biting social commentary and a multi-layered plot structure that contrasts the parallels of the British class system. NEW 2K RESTORATION.
Special Features:
On May 16, StudioCanal will also release a new restoration of Charles Frend's film Scott of the Antarctic (1948), starring John Mills, Diana Churchill, Harold Warrender, Anne Firth, and Derek Bond.
Docu-drama produced by Ealing Studios which captures the ill-fated final expedition to the South Pole in 1912 of British explorer Robert Scott. This classic drama highlights the problems which beset the journey and is accompanied by the music of Vaughn Williams. NEW 2K RESTORATION.
