British label Indicator/Powerhouse Films will add five new titles to its Blu-ray catalog: The Chase (1966), See No Evil (1971), and a three-disc box set that will include It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955), 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957), and The 3 Worlds of Gulliver (1960).
The Chase
Synopsis: Preceding Bonnie and Clyde by a year, Arthur Penn's (Mickey One) acclaimed film boasts enviable pedigree – produced by the legendary Sam Spiegel, with a screenplay by Lillian Hellman from the novel by Horton Foote, a rousing score by John Barry, and a stellar cast of the hottest stars of the day (including Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda, Robert Redford, Angie Dickinson and James Fox). The story of an escaped con making his way back to the corrupt Texas town and the people who sent him to prison, The Chase is a telling indictment of violence in American society. A seminal work which is ripe for rediscovery.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
See No Evil
Synopsis: Recently blinded in a horse riding accident, young Sarah (Mia Farrow) returns to her uncle's English country home, unaware that a psychopathic killer is stalking the family. This wonderfully creepy suspense-thriller from director Richard Fleischer (10 Rillington Place), from a script by British writer Brian Clemens (The Avengers, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad), features a note-perfect performance by Mia Farrow, and sterling support from a cast of formidable British character actors. Released in America as See No Evil and in the UK and Europe as Blind Terror (with subtle differences between the cuts), Indicator is delighted to present both versions of the film for the first time ever.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
