Kino Lorber have confirmed that they will release on Blu-ray director John Brahm's film
The Lodger (1944), starring Laird Cregar, Merle Oberon, and George Sanders. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Synopsis: In London in 1889, retiree Robert Burton (Cedric Hardwicke) and his wife, Ellen (Sara Allgood), rent a spare room to the mysterious Slade (Laird Cregar) as Jack the Ripper continues to terrorize the city. The Burtons' niece, Kitty (Merle Oberon), is a music hall singer who initially grows fond of the eccentric lodger, but, when the Ripper's body count rises, she and a Scotland Yard inspector (George Sanders) gradually begin to suspect that Slade could be the notorious Whitechapel killer.
