Midnight Lace
Synopsis: Doris Day plays Kit Preston, elegant newlywed wife of British Financier Anthony Preston. Shortly after moving to one of London's toniest neighborhoods, she is threatened by an unknown party. The tension mounts as the menacing phone calls continue and Anthony shows little concern, until Kit begins to doubt her own sanity and the motives of everyone around her.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Ordeal by Innocence
Synopsis: Donald Sutherland stars in this 1984 film based on the novel by Agatha Christie. Dr Arthur Calgary (Sutherland) returns home from an expedition and goes looking for a hitchhiker whom he gave a lift to two years previously in order to return the man's address book. He discovers the man has been executed for his mother's murder and, furthermore, the address book which he is returning could have proved the hitcher's innocence. So who is the real murderer?
Special Features and Technical Specs:
The Brink's Job
Synopsis: After a long time of bad luck, the little criminal Tony and his gang successfully rob one of Brink's security transport, taking $30,000. Surprisingly their coup doesn't make the press. Curious Tony checks out their headquarters and finds out that their security standard is low beyond belief. Now a really big coup is prepared...
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Slayground
Synopsis: From Donald E. Westlake, the creator of Point Blank, The Outfit and The Grifters! It should have been a quick and easy heist for Stone (Peter Coyote, Bitter Moon, Heart of Midnight), a cold cash hit on an armored car. But things turn ugly when a young girl is accidentally killed during the getaway and the child's grieving father hires a sadistic assassin to avenge her death. Now Stone is on the run from a relentless killing machine, a chase that will lead them to a run-down amusement park on the bleak British coast where death is the final contract and vengeance is the ultimate ride. Billie Whitelaw (Frenzy, The Krays) and comedy legend Mel Smith (Brain Donors) co-star in this violent action-thriller with a screenplay by Trevor Preston (I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, The Sweeney) and top-notch direction by veteran cameraman Terry Bedford (Jabberwocky).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Thunder Bay
Synopsis: Ambitious oil prospectors Steve Martin (James Stewart) and Johnny Gambi (Dan Duryea) enter the quiet fishing village of Port Felicity, La., with big plans that immediately put them at odds with the local fishermen. As the duo build an oil rig just outside the town's vital shrimp beds, they become involved with tempestuous sisters Stella (Joanne Dru) and Francesca (Marcia Henderson), whose attraction to the handsome newcomers is at odds with their love of their hometown.
