British label Nucleus Films has confirmed that its recent recent 2K restoration of Lady Frankenstein (1971) will soon transition to Blu-ray. The label has also confirmed that the upcoming Blu-ray release will be the most complete version ever seen of this movie.
Here's the complete update the folks that are preparing the Blu-ray release provided:
" We've now checked through the new master and we're happy to confirm that ours is the most complete version ever seen of this movie. It clocks in at exactly 99 minutes at 24fps! It's more complete than the Shout Factory DVD (yes, even including those awful inserts) and is also more complete than the super-rare Danish VHS, which was previously considered the most complete version out there!
You want more? We also have the never-before-seen Italian theatrical trailer, and alternative clothed inserts which were most likely produced for the Spanish release. And we also have the original Italian and English opening and closing credits.
The reason this restoration took much longer was because the original negative had originally suffered Italian film censor cuts, and it took a lot longer locating those missing snippets of nudity etc. But now they're all back!"
Nucleus Films is also finalizing a brand new 2K restoration of Giulio Questi's cult film Death Laid an Egg a.k.a. La morte ha fatto l'uovo (1968) which will also feature newly discovered, never before seen footage. A Blu-ray release is expected to be officially announced later this year.
Lady Frankenstein
Synopsis: When Dr. Frankenstein is killed by a monster he created, his daughter and his lab assistant Marshall continue his experiments. The two fall in love and attempt to transplant Marshall's brain in to the muscular body of a retarded servant Stephen, in order to prolong the aging Marshall's life and fulfilling her strange sexual desires. Meanwhile, the first monster seeks revenge on the grave robbers who sold the body parts used in its creation to Dr. Frankenstein. Soon it comes after Marshall and the doctor's daughter... Starring starring Joseph Cotten, Rosalba Neri, Paul Muller, Peter Whiteman, Herbert Fuxa, and Joshua Sinclair.
Death Laid an Egg
Synopsis: A woman (Ewa Aulin) plans to kill both her lover (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and his wife (Gina Lollobrigida) but conspires with each one to get the job done. Cinematography by Dario Di Palma (Ettore Scola's Ugly, Dirty and Bad, Lina Wertmüller's The Seduction of Mimi).
