Kino Lorber have dated and detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Roland Kibbee and Burt Lancaster's film The Midnight Man (1974), starring Burt Lancaster, Susan Clark, Cameron Mitchell, Morgan Woodward, and Harris Yulin. The release will be available for purchase on February 26.
Screen legend Burt Lancaster (The Train, Elmer Gantry) stars as Jim Slade, a former Chicago policeman who has just been released from prison for shooting his wife's lover. He's offered and takes a job as a campus night watchman at Jordon College. When a coed, the daughter of a prominent senator, is murdered and the local sheriff (Harris Yulin, Scarface) tries to pin the crime on a creepy night janitor (Charles Tyner, The Longest Yard), Slade decides to start his own unauthorized investigation that takes the lid off the hornets' nest.
